The lower hinge of the smaller door broke today. It's made of brass.
The door does catch a bit as it's opened but not that much.

Anyway I may as well replace both top and bottom hinges but any tips?
Should I go brass again? Or steel? Rust? Security?

I'll probably pop-rivet into the aluminium door and wood screws into
the side frame unless suggestions are otherwise.

Steel + ali results in much accelerated corrosion of the ali. Not a good combination

True. Try brass or good quality stainless hinges. I had A2 st. st. screws
etc. through the ally racks on a trike that was used in winter. When the
frame broke the trike, with salt still on it, was put in a damp shed for a
dozen years or so. When I dismantled it all the fasteners - and the greased
nipples on the spokes - were easy to undo.
Fire door hinges are usually good and available for different weights.
