If you can use Copper for the base and brass for everything else you should be ok. Brass is worst than AL heat transfer wise. AL is fine to use as long as you use something like water wetter, which you should use anyway because Copper will eventually start to corrode! I have used AL religiously and have had no major problems with it. Copper is easy to get though. Go to the local recycling place or a machine shop. They may give you enough scrap to use!
