I'm in Ca. and I've been tossing around this same issue. I'm leaning towards aluminum purely based on weight. The comparably equipped 3 horse slant GN's in steel weigh about 1500-2000lbs more than the aluminum trailers I'm looking at.
That allows the alum. trailer to have a GVWR under 10,000 lbs and still haul 3 good sized horses. The 10,000lb cutoff is important in Ca. as hauling a trailer over that rating requires different license requirements.

And that's one of the #1 reasons that we no longer own any steel trailers and Lord willing,we will keep them.all 3 of ours are aluminum.I for one,am glad.
