Aluminized steel will rust out in a few years, just so you know.
Mild steel will arrive rusted.

can't weld SS, gotta have proper equipment to do that...and I dont. Aluminized is best for me.

I have a mandrel bender at work and actually the couple times I've gotten to make bends in tubing by filling it with sand and welding the ends together I've liked it alot better then using the regular mandrel bend... So that's definitely a nice way to go. I'd be welding the stainless together before anything with an aluminum alloy.
