I've yet to see a ton of people kill gears, so the stock set-up locked works well but if you just had to go with an after market one I would say aluminum.

I know people are going to bitch at me because steel is stronger but the sheer ratings for both metals are actualy pretty close and the advantages to less rotating mass are great
