SS props will grab better and are thinner - more efficient. But watch out. SS is stronger than the gears in your lower unit. So if you hit something with the prop, then you're out big $ on a lower unit. Aluminum is softer than your gearbox and will bend up when impacted. Go with aluminum unless you're into racing. My alum prop cost just over $100 - SS costs up to $350.
