We did most of our overhead services in Cu. Never used SE cable that I can remember. It was still relatively reasonable at that time.
50% copper tariff just imposed

Probably depends on the route, utility company, and date. Take my house and my parents... both are Cleveland Electric Illuminating, but I've got buried aluminum, they have aerial copper. Mine was built in '78, theirs in '65.
All the new stuff here is UG laterals, tails from the meter/main are short.
I have seen many times where someone used the leftover utility style URD as the entrance tails to the indoor loadcenter and it as the old style stuff.
I do wonder how many new homes have that I think its called 'AAC 1350' style aluminum URD that is not the 'newer' alloy of AL.
