Aluminum/steel is more durable, especially up here in the north.  It is also continuous so you have no leaks.  With vinyl, you will have leaks at every seam. There is also no gap between the aluminum/steel gutter and the facia board, unlike the vinyl gutters.

Ice will form in winter if you have gutters or not. However, ice is usually the result of poor insulation or ventilation (usually both).

Plan to clean your gutters at least once a year, and more often if the roof is directly beneath trees.
