The metal tapes are quieter and have a higher saturation point, thus a wider dynamic range. The wider dynamic range is seldom needed for recording albums for play in the car. For live recording where there is a large dynamic range, I have found metal tapes to be the best. Actually, the Maxell XL-S tapes have a 2-3db. boost in the high frequencies that you may notice when recording with a machine which has a flat frequency response.
