You are perhaps mixing your terminology regarding metal and composites. Nevertheless, a BESR rated bat for his 2011 H.S. Season would be the way to go. Metal, hybrids and composites all carry BESR ratings.
They will give him more "bang for the buck" and he will either wear it out or perhaps outgrow it by the time the Season is over. He will still have Summer ball as well and can use that bat except for the Wood bat tournaments.

If you get him a BBCOR bat for the Spring he will likely be the only kid using a "DUD" (except in California). It too won't be much good after a full year of use. At least I've never had much luck with my kid every using a bat more than one season as its either trashed or he needed a bigger one!! Might as well let him have the extra 30' or so that the livelier bats generate.
