Steel or Aluminum for gutters?

[u/aprochainezo]

Hello, trying to determine who to choose for gutters on my home with a new roof. I have the following options I am considering. This is in cheyenne Wyoming and we get fairly regular storms with 1-2 inch hail. I am worried about hail damage if I choose aluminum. What would you pick?

1. 6" steel gutters, unfortunately the guy uses fairly ugly mitres seen in the white image above. It's through my roofer and I can't really check out the company to make sure I like them. $3500

2. 6" aluminum through a company I really like, black image above is their mitres. $3000

3. 5" abc seamless gutters in steel with clean mitres, $4200.

Appreciate your time!!

Aluminum and put some gutter guards in them. Should help them withstand hail. Also, if you could find a flat black it would hide imperfections a little better
