Honestly, the only times I stop to consider frame material when contemplating a purchase are as follows:

If the gun is likely to be shot a LOT, I tend to shy away from aluminum frames a little.

If the gun is intended for carry, I tend to shy away from steel frames unless the gun is very small.

The rest of the time, I'm much more concerned with other aspects of the firearm* and don't really care about the frame material at all.

*Things like how the gun feels in my hand, how well I shoot it, how easy it is to clean, durability, available accessories and expense of accessories, ease of diassembly, manual of arms, accuracy, reliability, etc., etc.
