I don't understand "personal preference". It looks good with my eyes?
I have stock in a copper company?

Aluminum conductors are more flexible than the equivalent copper
conductors and therefore easier to handle, especially for long pulls.
Copper conductors don't need to have anti-ox compound applied to the
connections. Current prices of each material come into play. The
physically smaller space occupied by the copper cable of a given current
rating can be a factor. Bottom line, personal preference as to which
issue are most important to you.

OK, I get it. Thanks a bunch.

Are the only personal preference possibilities based on the
misunderstanding that aluminum in large gauges is not good,

AL wiring in small gauges and terminated at devices without the proper
ratings is not good.
