Aluminium corrodes as it reacts to he steel clamp I think mainly when used on rod and road salt but it might be all the time. avoid Aluminium.

Stainless is better than steel because it won't rust, but both are heavy.
Titanium is meant to be lighter and stronger than both, unless they have a fat lump above them

Yep

I checked under the hood today and noticed this difference between both top-mounts. The left one has a much bigger open space than the right one? Not sure I'm happy with the way that looks.

Chassis can be so far off that as long as the geo is right you are ok.

Geo is indeed 100% identical L/R, luckily. Both sides set at -3

I think the top mounts are not aligned or placed in the same place in the strut tower holes...

BTW, shame on you, rusted bolts on the strut bar
