I joist vs 2X

Building is one story ranch 44&#;X28&#; with walk out.  Planned on carrying beam splitting the 28&#; dimension and using 14&#; 2X10&#;s or 2X12 floor joists 16&#;OC.  It has been suggested that I consider keeping the carrying beam and using  28&#; long I joists- probably 9 1/2&#; deep 16&#;OC.  Planned on glued and nailed 3/4&#; TG (AdvanTech) as subfloor.

I&#;ve read all the wonderful things about I joists.  Is the cost differential worth the increased performance or is money better spent elsewhere?  I know costs are voliatal but what is the approx cost difference- I&#;d probably have used 2×12&#;s?

Same guy suggested roof trusses 16&#; OC with 1/2 ply rather than 24&#;OC and clipped 5/8&#; ply.  Thoughts?
