Is dot-and-dab or metal stud better?

Dot-and-dab is quicker and cheaper and suits sound, reasonably flat brick or block walls. Metal stud is better for building new partitions, for walls that are badly out of line, when you need to run services or add thick insulation behind the board, or where damp or contamination on the original wall means the board should not be bonded to it.
