Go with aluminum seamless gutter ,plastic only comes in 10 ft lenghts so you would have more seams which means more chances of it leaking A easy formula to figure out whataluminumn gutter will cost is and it goes by linear footage so measure your house where gutters would go and then add 12 LF for each downspout you will need about 4 and you have the total and if you call a contractor they will give you a free estimate but it should cost you about $2-$3 a Linear foot everyone is hurting for work so get a couple bids and go back and forth for the best price Also leaf guard is expensive about $4 a LF look for similar products that are cheaper hope this helps

In terms of quality, alumnimum is significantly better than plastic rain gutters. Some of the downsides to plastic rain gutters:
- No sealant, so it can crack or leak
- Frequently becomes loose at the seams
- Overall lower quality material and not likely to have any warranties
In contrast, alumnimum is much more durable and is worth the investment in the long term. It is possible to get cheaper aluminum rain gutters, but the less expensive ones are lower quality and can break just as easily in harsh weather conditions. A good aluminum gutter that's installed with the right hangers and sealant should last as long as the house.
