How do you decide between using aluminum vs. steel for a structural frame? To me it comes down to balance between strength, weight, and cost. What about you?

I agree strength, weight, and cost matter, but I usually start with load requirements and environment. If corrosion is a concern, aluminum often wins despite higher cost. Steel gives better fatigue resistance in some applications. Do you prioritize lifecycle maintenance or just upfront material cost?
