i beams or h beams dont matter
dont get the light weight i beams cuz there weaker than h beams and they cost more (crower)
The thick *** crower i beams are nearly indestructible.

It doesn't matter and then you go on to say why it does matter.

I would go with some Eagle H-beams. Can;t go wrong there.
