Hull materials,..steel verses fiberglass,composite,wood

Well I have many questions about boats but one I have had in mind for a while now is hull material. I always see safety associated with steel. Is a steel boat that much safer than a fiberglass boat? And what are the drawbacks to steel verses fiberglass. My wife and I are going to make the bold step to cruise and take our 10 year old with us. I will have up to 300k to secure us a very safe blue water ready boat. Safety and stability are key factors to us. Thanks for any info.....Mark
