When and why would one spec. galvanized or painted for wireways or boxes?

I realize painted would look nicer, but which resists rust or moisture better?

I would assume the painted is more expensive.

Actually I believe galvanized is more expensive.
But galvanized will not chip or scrsatch like paint and will not rust as fast if properly installed.
