Why's that?

How does one tell - do cheaper, or more expnsive cassettes tend to be alu?

alu = lighter.

however, the disadvantage is that the cheaper cassette without a carrier bite into it, and can make removal difficult.

Not a problem per se, as you usually need to wack it out or use two cassette removal to twist it out.

It will be eventually. I've seen more than a few freehubs need to be replaced due to worn out splines (whilst still on OG bearings).

Also replacing freehubs can be problematic on older hubs (I'm looking at you Easton and Mavic).
