Fencing with Wood vs Metal T posts

Need your opinion/experience on fence post materials. The question is to use entierly metal t-posts, or a combo of treated peeler cores and t-posts.
We're in the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. Fortunately very little rock (so far )
We're fencing for a horse. 48" no-climb with an electric strand on top.
What do you think?

We have 5 horses. Our fences are all t-posts with braces at the corner. We use 3 strand electric tape and have had no problems. We can stretch the tape as tight as we need to. Don't know about the no-climb horse fence though. That may need to be stretched tighter.
Good Luck!

On top of what Jim said, I'd put a wooden H-brace every 100' of run, no-climb is heavy stuff and you can't correctly stretch much more than 100' at a time.
