What's the difference between aluminum and steel fittings?

For barrier hose, some places sell steel fittings and aluminum fittings. Which is better and when would you want to use one over the other?

There really are no differences between the two, I have mainly seen steel fittings/lines be more on the heavy duty applications and aluminum with regular vehicles. At the same time, some applications do have steel fittings, it just all depends. If you are rebuilding a hose, i would just stick to what the hose came with.
