Other. Why can't both be included? Keep Steelbook and add Metal Case.

Other. Change back to SteelBook and add MetalPak, IronPack, FuturePak, Metal Box, Neo Case, etc. as additional options

Isn't steelbook a brand?

It is but you'd be surprised how many collectors find this piece of info important.  Some go as far as buying nothing other than SteelBooks.  However, there are distinct and distinguishable features about each of the different types of metal cases.

Since there are several different case types made out of metal shouldn't the broadest terminology be used to cover them all?

True, but this is no different than the two options we already have for HD Keepcase and HD Slim.  Both are essentially a plastic Blu-ray case but we distinguish between the two.  Also, a Fr4me is nothing more than a brand name too.

... or whatever this is (deleted image)

That would be a Neo case.

I'll go with both included.

So in other words,

I don't see a reason to make a special entry for steelbook (which is a trademark) when we've never ever made a distinction between actual Amaray cases and all the copies of it and just labelled them under "keep case".

I do think that the more entries are added to Case Type, the more confusing this will become for the average user, i.e. the one who is not a forum regular.

Agreed. I actually am a forum regular, but I honestly wouldn't know, nor care, what the (perceived) difference is between a "Steelbook" or a "Metal Case". If both were listed, I'd have to go look at the rules or a forum thread to have this explained to me, but else I really wouldn't know. That doesn't exactly make me a fan of listing both.

Indeed.

Can I ask why steelbook gets it's own entry, but the other types of metal cases don't?

Indeed again. Before we know it, we're going to have to list fifty different case types - is this really where we want to go?

And how many actually know the difference between a steelbook and a metal pak? I could see a lot of people mistakenly entering metal paks as steelbooks.

I certainly don't know, nor do I care about it. As such, I'd prefer to keep this as simple as possible. One case type for any kind of "Metal Case" is more than enough for me.
