Regardless of the grade of ali?
Just that I’ve dealt with several many seized and sheared ali chainring bolts but all that seems to go wrong with steel ones is rounding the allen wrench fitting. And I suppose occasionally they do get a bit rusty.
TLDR: I’ve had more hassle from aluminium than steel in this application so my anecdata says steel is better.
