Is there any difference in performance and reliability between aluminum and brass casings for CCI 9mm Blazer 115 gr FMJ ammo?

I don't reload, so that is not a problem.
Thanks

Cases, and no difference in performance other than I have heard that aluminum can be harder on an extractor. Aluminum should be cheaper, but you can re-sell brass.

no harder on the gun, and lighter on the wallet.
I reload, so the savings in the re-use of the brass more than pays me back vs the initial purchase.
