Question Aluminized vs Stainless

I'm in the market for a cattded x-pipe fo my 98' Cobra and I think I've made up my mind on Bassani. My dillema is if I should by the aluminized or spend the extra for the Stainless? I live in Ca so rust is not much of an issue. Opinions?

The stainless lasts forever and has a nicer sound due to the stronger material, so it depends on what you really want or need, do you need it to last forever? does "under the car looks" matter? if no go with the aluminized one.

No doubt, go with stainless or VHT coated. Aluminized will start to rust the first time it gets wet and hot.

Sounds like I'll just save for a little while longer.
