Steel is going to be heavier, but you may be able to use thinner material to cut down on the weight if you wanted. Steel accepts bending a little more easily (aluminum can tend to crack or break), but will be tougher to drill. Try searching a bit - I am pretty sure I saw someone make a chassis out of some stainless plate.

If you do it right it should work, but as previously stated it will be HEAVY if you don't get rid of excess material.
