Go with the plastics ones, we tried the aluminium ones and once they are bent they are hard to get back straight, and make driveing in a straight line a nightmare, even with a gyro.
Both frames have 4 wheels offset 90 degrees from each other. I'd imagine both have the same problems without a suspension.
