Does anyone recommend a type of hangar to build? Does anyone recommend building a hangar or should I just contract that out?

DIY:
Quonset Huts are easy to put up and cheap, but the style clashes with my house. I was thinking of making a hangar with Versatube (www.versatube.com), but I have not seen a Versatube hangar nor of anyone contemplating using them as a hangar (you would have to customize the building as they only allow 18' wide doors, standard).

Contracting Out:
I was thinking of just hiring either a pole barn builder or a steel company to erect a hangar for me, but not sure which one to choose.

I'm going for a 40'x40'x10' size hangar with a Schweiss bi-fold door. Would like it to be easily insulated.

I'm open to any suggestions. Looking for something where I can get a decent sq ft/$.
