Polycarbonate versus Aluminium covers for fixtures

[masalah]

Dear all,

What are the differences in the characteristics of material between aluminium & polycarbonate?
What are the suitable applications for Al covers & what are those for polycarbonate covers in lighting fixtures?
And what about the difference in prices?

Thank you all.

One's metal, one's plastic... I'd call that a huge characteristic difference.
