At 15 stone, the differences in frame responses are not significant. At 19 stone, they are, especially under hard braking. You'll be okay whichever bike you choose. Ride quality is "friendlier" on a steel bike, and more harsh on an alu one. But again, that will still depend on variables such as tyre choices, and tyre psi.
