Pressure treated is quite a bit more expensive, and harder to work with. I used regular 2x4 studs and then waterproofed the entire setup. Pressure treated lumber isn't worth it unless you are very concerned with insects/rot. Here's a page with more information about pressure treated wood:

just take a portion of the money that you'll save in buying the normal wood and get some paint and paint your rail, it'll look so much better too.

i would use normal wood then waterproof it

treated wood is harder to drill in and it strips screws

well it did for me
