Pros and cons on either copper or aluminum. Cost being one. Copper is at a premium these days. The best thing for a person to do is to do their own research and ask radiator shops to decide which way to go. If I was going to go for the stock look I'd go with a high efficiency copper radiator but if it was a daily driver or work truck, I would not hesitate to go with aluminum.
