Concrete does let water and air seep through... But it's generally not a
huge problem. Either system will outlast you. If needed, you can install a
dry well at the bottom of the shelter or a hand operated sump pump if you
are really worried about being flooded in the shelter... Otherwise,
moisture isn't a huge problem. Just keep it well ventilated.
I work with steel all day. I'd choose steel myself, but that's because I'd
build it myself.
