If you are going ;

- or create living quarters for humans
the requirements for comfort and health vary greatly.

I am good at recommending things to others though I am cheap so as I said I would use sheetrock.
Our house came with a board and batten wall which I feel is very "stylish"
Here is a thread with pictures where I recommended board and batten and cedar planks, too:

You can put a nail or screw anywhere you want to hold things. The cost is cheap. It can be painted any color you wish. Is renewable…
The list goes on and on.
As an alternative, you could insulate and frame with 2x4s and then use steel on the inside. I have done that before. It looks good, lasts forever and can be any color you want too.

In the future, I want to make one of them a bunkhouse.
My idea is to frame the interior walls with wood 2" x 4", add insulation, and then use either sheetrock or paneling.
The paneling has gotten hard to find so I would probably end up with sheet rock.
Will you be turning the building into living quarters?
Since you mentioned cof, a rocket mass heater might be something nice to plan for:
Thanks for sharing! A rocket mass heater will absolutely be a feature. I live in Wyoming, so that supplemental heat and radiating seat are at the top of my list. Yes, living quarters.

I would be inclined to try earthen plaster over pallet wood for the interior.
Insulation is tricky, the metal frame and skin might produce a lot of condensation.
Adding a rainscreen detail under the metal cladding might help, but it will also add cost and complexity.
Picking the right insulation should help.
Rockwool is notable as resilient to moisture.
