Band saw for cutting aluminum

We want to buy a band saw for our team to use this year. I would like to learn about other team's experiences and recommendations about using various types for cutting aluminum stock such as:
1. Horizontal/Vertical Band Saw like the Jet 414458. http://www.amazon.com/414458-HVBS-56...0946661&sr=8-3
or Grizzly G0622
http://www.grizzly.com/products/G0622

2. Portable Band Saw with base like the Grizzly G8692
http://www.grizzly.com/products/G8692
or Milwaukee has one like this also for a lot more money.

3. Vertical band saw like the Delta BS-100
http://www.amazon.com/Delta-BS100-Sh...947095&sr=8-31
or various other larger ones.


It's obvious all of these have pros and cons. If you were to pick one type, which one? Or are there other better alternatives?
