Having had both I found aluminum to be easier to care for, not harder. It is lighter but more fragile. A limb that might scratch fiberglass can put a crease or hole in aluminum. I go down some narrow forest roads so I have to be careful about that. On the other hand if you do damage one or the other the aluminum is much more easily and cheaply repaired. Although the aluminum may look to have lots of seams it is really in 4' sections so there is only one seam on the front of most rigs, the joint is a z connection so if it was caulked properly leaking should never be an issue.
