I doubt the Lowes model is more sturdy than the wood one. The Lowes hangar appears just about identical to the metal one I have, without the additional cross pieces.

The Wood one I have is definitely stronger than the metal. That said, both are strong enough for the purpose of holding up a bike, and the only reason I can see for the wood model is aesthetics.
