Aluminums have better wind up but they suffer on the launch so keep that in mind. Aluminum = good past 100ft. Iron = good up to 100ft.

Also the increased inertial mass of a stock flywheel helps enjoyability of a daily driver IMHO (I will get flamed for saying this). Think of it as something of a shock absorber or damper.

Good luck.
