I think Renthal hard anodizes their aluminum sprockets for better wear. I've seen Vortex aluminum sprockets sheer teeth from too much power (and probably too much wear at the same time), but for smaller bikes I don't think you'd have any issues.

Steel would definitely wear longer. That steel RS8R sprocket is really opened up. It would be interesting to compare the weight to something like a Vortex aluminum one.
