Lintel Confusion!

For our new build which is a concrete block dorma bungalow construction it's time to decide on lintels. 

 

Do I go 6 inch or 9 inch concrete lintels (reinforced with two rods) or do I go with Catnic metal ones or similar from IG Lintels?

 

I think I'm doing right by eliminating the 6 inch concrete lintels just for peace of mind. Out of my two remaining options of 9 inch concrete or metal, could anyone offer me their advice please?

I've had quotes and the 9 inch concrete and catnic are virtually the same.

 

Your advice would be appreciated!

Catnics are insulated So for a double skin wall your better with catnic Though I would go with a steel with a hit and miss plate for anything over 2mtr
