For my money I'll take steel, unless it's for a race bike. As others have already noted, steel sprockets are a heavier but they are less expensive and they last a LOT longer than aluminum.

2007-3-26 They will certainly out-last an o-ring chain/steel sprocket combo that is poorly adjusted and maintained. The weight difference between plain-chain/aluminum vs. o-ring/steel is significant. And all of that weight is in the one place you don't want it - unsprung weight.
