I don't have a problem with AL bussing. Most of the failures are not from the buss but from a bad clip on the breaker. Even if CU bussing is used the damage caused by bad breaker clip will usually still make the position unusable.
Most loadcenters have AL bussing as standard. Square D QO and Homeline loadcenters have AL bussing except for few models that have a CU in the catalog number. Most Siemens load centers are available with AL or CU bussing. Cutler Hammer BR loadcenters have AL bussing CH loadcenters have CU bussing. GE uses CU bussing in many of their common load centers. If you order switchgear or panelboards they will come with AL bussing unless you specify CU which will add additional cost and possibly more lead time to the order.
Electric Eagle - What brand and model of loadcenters do you use?
