Steel or Aluminum Skids?

What would you rather have? Lighter aluminum skids or stronger steel skid plates?

For me it would come down to which skid where. You know like for oil pan, hands down steel, front crash bar/bumper skid, aluminum might be better.

Steel steel steel. Aluminum can be used in less vital areas. JKs are heavy; steel holds up.
