If you have any access to Ashby charts or any of his (Ashby's) texts on materials selection you might find them really useful.

While you're at it, probe strength to wt at various oper temps. At certain temps the advantage crosses over from material to material. GE had a chart that showed strength to wt vs. temp, which is enlightening.
