I'd go for the aluminum myself as well.

IMO, Acrylics are bright, biting, and very live sounding, which is okay for one kind of sound (not to my taste though). People have used them in the studio, but it would be far from my first choice. Maybe in live situation I could more easily see it, e.g. Budgie with Leonard Ito of Kodo, but that's a pretty unique gig since you need that cutting sound to balance out the massive Kodo drums.

A 6.5 x 14 Supra can do a lot of sounds right for a lot of different music and will work in almost all situations with the right tuning, room, and heads.
