Personal preference really. I don't like steel. It's dirty and stiff compared to most aluminium but it's easier for beginners to heat-shrink and weld.
Soft aluminium can be worked by hand yet have lots of strength once you give it shape but welding and shrinking it is a little more interesting.
It just depends what you are comfortable with because it will look just the same once you have painted it.
