Aluminum vs. Steel Gas (Fuel) Tanks

So I'll eventually be buying a tank for the rear of my '67. The most common metal tanks I've seen are aluminum, but I've also seen stainless steel and steel. There has been mention that aluminum can rip/tear if damaged, and steel will bend. Obviously I don't plan on this ever happening, but it is really a concern? Especially on a bagged truck? And, other than weight, are there any other advantages or disadvantages to one style over the other??
