Looking for Parlor floor deck ideas

Hi, we want to build a deck off of the parlor floor of our house, and we’re trying to figure out if we should do a metal deck across the full width, a wood deck that stops 3 feet from the property line (required by code), or some mix of the two. Does anyone know the pros and cons of a wood v. a metal deck (in terms of cost, maintenance, etc.)? Also, if anyone has pics of their own parlor floor decks they’re willing to share, I’d love to see some to get ideas. Thanks!
