Aluminized or stainless 4 inch exhaust?

Ok, I am looking at both types of exhaust, aluminized for price and stainless for its resistance. I line in northwest Indiana and drive the truck on a daily basis in the salt covered roads in the winter. How long will a aluminim exhaust hold up do you think, I would like to go that route because they are cheaper. I'm looking at either the MBRP or the Magnaflow, I just want something that I can bolt up with no cutting or welding....Thanks for your comments!
