The wood breathes better than plastic and absorbs excess moisture, which can foul a worm colony. Wood will break down slowly, but it should last many years. I have photos of the worm bins I build and use on my blog: http://vermontworms.com/red-wiggler-compost-worm-bin/ I tried a styrofoam cooler when I first started with vermicomposting, but I didn't find it to work well. I'd also be concerned about the styrofoam breaking down and leaching chemicals into the compost. I prefer to use compost worm bins made of wood.
