Plastic shed shell vs. wood frame, my buddy's comment has me second guessing

My neighbor Ray watched me leveling a new 8x10 plastic shed last Saturday and said I'd be 're-leveling it every spring' because the floor flexes. He built his own wood floor on gravel and swears it's still true after 11 years. Is the convenience of plastic worth the yearly tweaking, or is he just old school?

Man, Ray sounds like the kind of guy who still uses a flip phone and calls it reliable. He's not wrong about plastic floors being bendy though, I've seen warped sheds that look like they're doing the limbo. But honestly, I'm the last person to give advice, I once leveled a shed with old pizza boxes and a prayer. If you're not into yearly tweaking, maybe just throw some extra pavers under the middle and call it a day. Worst case, you're out two beers and an afternoon every spring, which is basically a hobby at that point.
