I agree about turning fire off when adding anything really. Liquid extract will sink and scorch. Dry has a slightly less chance, but still may. Hops will foam up like a mf'er and it is much easier to control with the fire off.
Aluminum will work. Some people CLAIM it will promote off tastes but nobody seems to be able to prove it. Just remember to cut the fire.

Yeah, this is another one of those things to be wary of - adding hops will cause the wort to foam up and (likely) overflow the pot. You can keep it to a minimum by making sure you've got a good bit of headspace in your pot, controlling your temp, and keeping a spray bottle filled with water around. If the foam gets too high, knock it down with a few mists of cool water.

everywhere i've read, says that Stainless is much easier to clean, but down the road, certain buildups could happen that would require more maintenance. Aluminum seems to be the way to go when starting out.

To prevent pellet hops foaming up scoop out a coffee mug of boiling wort and add the pellets to the mug of wort. Then pour it into the boil.
