QUESTION: Are aluminum ground systems becoming common? Are they
reliable, even after absorbing some heavy strikes? Any other
comments?

I've never seen any that use aluminum wire. Everything I've seen and
what little I've done was copper wire for both mountain top and home
grounding.


You can come to Florida where you'll find the lightning supression systems
on the buildings here all use about a 1" aluminum rope to interconnect all
the spikes and tie into the building ground.
