They all have their weaknesses and strengths...just depends on where it is applied in use...and...protection measures taken
Am not a fan of aluminum pickup truck beds...but that is just me...even if they did oxidize the whole thing on all surfaces...still NOT a good one for me...
Anyone own a 16oz, claw hammer head made out of aluminum? There are very good applications, but aluminum is NOT a good claw hammer head material for a reason...
No aluminum hammer, but I do have a brass hammer, great to use for certain applications. Brass is far more dense than aluminum so it makes a better hammer, but I believe is softer than aluminum.
Personally, I'm not a contractor so I won't be putting much in the bed. And if I load landscaping bricks, I won't be dropping them from 5' above the cab, I'm smarter than that. Besides all that, I've got a low boy trailer that is 4' longer than my bed, that is quite frankly much easier to use for loading/unloading just about anything I want to carry around. The 4 wheeler, riding mower, dirt, lumber, etc. is all much easier and safer to load on it.
