Power transformers, 1MVA and smaller, dry type, my recommendation is Al.
(As for control transformers, oil filled, or >1MVA, I don't have a recommendation)
Transformer winders learned how to make the welds sometime in the late 70's, early 80's.
I've been fighting the entrenched old guard for 35+ years to accept Al. I never convinced them, but I did finally out live them. There is little worse than the Double-Dumbshit-Syndrome:

Everybody else dose it this way.
Unless there is a size constraint, Al is:
Equal performance
Lighter
cost effective
available on-shelf
