If I understand correctly your situation, I would recommend a regular shear over a nibbler. A nibbler takes smaller bites out of metal which results in more time for operating the hydraulics and it tends to hang up on the metal more. Cutting 40 ft. of metal would require much more labor than a shear and the shear will not hang up in the metal as much. If you are interested in some ideas on how to get the use of a shear for low cost, let me know.
I an glad you are not going to try to torch the galvanized metal. Galvanized metal gives off cyanide gas and without proper knowledge and ventilation is very toxic. This type of poisoning cannot be cleaned from the lungs and each time you are exposed adds another layer to the lungs.
