Happy New Year

After 30 years, I have moved. A friend once said if he had to move, he would burn it all down and start over. I should have taken his advice. Boy did I accumulate stuff in 30 years. I had built a pole barn and had a service pit built at my last place. The pit was constructed using poured concrete walls. I have completed the pole barn (42'x56') at my new location but the concrete floor will have to wait until spring. It is -3 F as I write this. I have received quotes for poured wall construction and for block wall construction. Block is a few hundred dollars less. The cores of a block wall will be filled with concrete with rebar. Do any of you have experience with or opinions on poured versus block construction of a pit?
By the way, my new location is 15 miles southwest of Mackinaw City, Michigan on 41 acres near the village of Bliss (a general store, cemetery and a volunteer fire hall). There is room for visitors so if any of you have plans for Michigan this summer, you are welcome here. Thanks in advance for any input.
