Sure, a LG steel floor frame will hold up any walls you might want.

Steel framing has a number of good attributes and minimum of bad attributes. Since it is generally less expensive than wood I am surprised people are so resistant to using it.

The main negative of light gage steel is when it is used in a roof frame or exterior wall and is not properly design for heat transfer. Metal will move heat (solar) into a building like a radiator. For that reason I mostly prefer LG steel for interior uses - interior walls and floor frames.
