Porch Railing steel, aluminum?

I need to fix up my porch. Wanting to put new railing in. Got a quote on real wrought iron (mainly because we have a bunch of wrought iron in the house and love it). Cost was prohibitive.

I was then looking at some aluminum railing and "steel" railing that looks okay. Anybody have any recommendations for specific brands or thoughts on railing in general. We want to avoid a regular wood railing because the porch gets hit with weather hard and painting\ maintenance on what we have now is a pain. I have a trex mini-deck\entryway to our house and although its the most expensive trex it still looks cheesy and I'm not making that mistake again.

Old Farmhouse btw.

Thanks.
 
Last year my contractor installed aluminum railing from Menards at one of our properties (stoop). Hasn't seen a lot of use but it was relatively inexpensive, looks good, and seems to be sturdy. No problems so far.
