Steel- Been used for over 100 years and has a proven track record, great ride quality, eventhough it's heavier than other frame materials of the same density; There are high quality lightweight steel frames as of late and it is extremely strong: can be repaired if frame is crackedUnfortunately, it is prone to rust if not properly taken care ofAluminum- Has a proven record as well but has only come into its own in the last 25-30 years; It's now the most common frame material used on bicycles; Aluminum is the lightest of all frame materials of the same density and it's very stiffWhile it tends to have a harsher ride than the other frames, advances in frame design has drastically improved the comfort level on aluminum framesIt doesn't rust like steel and is relatively strong as wellThe downfall is that aluminum is non-repairableThen again do you really want a frame that has been damaged? That's like wanting a car that's been seriously wreckedI love both materials for what they offerI would take either of them over carbon fiber (eventhough a carbon fork is the best out there, IMHO)As for Titanium, well, that's another story.
