Brick expensive :(
panel cheap :)
-
The real question is, why is there any brick at all?
(The answer is almost certainly that somebody other than the engineer imposed the requirement.)
-
Brick waterproof.
Brick termite-proof.
Brick fireproof.
-
Panel same (probably, depending what kind of panel).
-
No, panel only as waterproof as the coating protecting it. Brick is rock, takes centuries to wear out.

...masonry wainscots look tacky-as-heck but they provide impact and moisture resistance where it's needed most...
-
Is masonry really cheaper than using a slightly thicker gauge of steel and a decent epoxy paint for the bottom few feet?
-
...it's far more durable, mostly...
