I would go with aluminum.Less unsprung weight let's your suspension work better.I think 9 inch has more opinions when it comes to tires.
 
look for some stoc banshee or yfx wheels, they are rolled lip aluminums and some of the best rims out there. the bigger the rim the sidewall movement, not a big difference, but 9" rims do allow for more options for tires
 
id go with 9" aluminum. u could probley find a good used set of rear yfz hubs and wheels pretty cheap. i just did that to mine. gives u a little more tire options
 
yes, if i didnt just buy some last month, i'd be all over the ones 442 has and linked to above, factory, rolled lip, banshee/yfz's ...best rims out there for the money
 
personally id go aluminum, they are a hell of alot lighter, hold up against the elements alot better, and id say 9in, more tire options.
