I had an engineer out to my boiler today and he said I need to get a new cage/guard for my flue (it's corroded and falling apart). He mentioned getting a plastic coated one, so I've been looking online. I've come across Toolstation and they sell a stainless steel one as well plastic coated. The former being slightly more expensive. Is there a difference? Do the SS ones last longer?
Flue cage/guard for condensing boiler?

The stainless one - especially if its a quality material such as A4 - should have excellent resistance to the mildly acidic fumes that are produced.
Thats the one I'd go for, personally.

On most condensing boilers when working correctly do not emit flue gasses above 80 C and really don't create any significant hazard.
Unfortunately, the requirement still exists based on historic needs which have never been updated.
