Not sure. I don't really think it matters. Speed or woods - you still want the best air efficiency you can get which is why they say the aluminums are better. I have read a lot of guys saying to stay away from the aftermarket stuff.

It won't do much for you.  IMO your money would be better spent on a case of paint...

Don't hate the player...
Hate the game.

If your stock powertube is broken, I would get a aluminum one instead of replacing the stock one. For the sole reason of aluminuim>plastic.

It doesn't matter what type of paintball you play for some upgrades, that is one of them. The aluminum one is more durable overall either way. If the plastic one breaks, get the aluminum.

My powertube got cracked from excessive play when using Co2 with my E-grip. Tippmann sent me a new one, and they even paid for the shipping. Good service, and I got the new powertube within two days, just in time to play on the weekend.

I'll go where I no one do know,
