This is an especially good article on MSDs in general, scroll down the
article to read about holding tanks:

Here's more and, if I had more time I could find you more reasons.

Mike,
Could you direct me to some of the info you cite. I checked with both my NA
and a tank manufacturer I found on the web and they said aluminum was not a
problem. If I need to go w/ SS so be it, but the material cost about four
times as much as aluminum (so, what else should one expect whaen owning a
boat).
Thanks, Roger
