Steel boats require staying ahead of the painting to stave off rust. Attention to zincs/galvanic conditions is critical as well. If I owned a steel boat I'd definitely buy a MIG welder and learn how to use it well.
Aluminium just requires attention to electrical/galvanic conditions. You don't even need to paint them.
Full disclosure, I've never owned either - just observations from decades of hanging around marinas and boatyards.
