But I'd really suggest that you give some builders' a try out before
you buy one - you may just find a builders' one too big.

No, tried and liked builder's barrows, the weight seems more balanced
somehow. But they can be shallower than the gardening ones

Yup, my old builders one had a noticeably shallower tray than my current
one. Probably better for barrowing/tipping dense building materials like
concrete

If I was going to get a metal tray one I think I'd look for one with a
welded on tray - the holes for the fixing screws seem to be a weak point
- mine rusted there and the tray eventually detached.

Hamelin also make some good barrows:
