What are the pros, cons, of each type ?

" For Callies (mentioning that because the answer may and will probably differ from company to company via engineering and product design) Our H and I-beam's are made out of the same metal and everything, the main difference for our product is the H-Beams tend to be a little less expensive (due to ease of machining) and will give a little less clearance and not be as strong and are a tad bit lighter. So the inverse, the I-beams are more expensive, give a tad more clearance and are heavier and stronger. Main reason behind the strength and weight qualities is in the way they were designed. Other companies H-beams are heavier and stronger, where as we are the inverse, all comes down to design of the rod. "
