I agree with everything you said except the last item. Getting 1 1/2"
iron steam pipe unstuck would simply not have happened if I had a
wrench shhorter than 36". If I ever have to do this again, I would
consider renting a pair of 48" wrenches.

I used a 36" on a 4" heating system header with no real problem.
After I put a 6' cheater pipe on it, making it about a 96".

Which suggests that the ferrous one would be preferred to the
aluminum one if you are going to put that big a cheater pipe on it.

Enjoy,
