Default composite vs. aluminum carbs

Its my understanding that the composite carb helps prevent vapor lock by not acting like a heat sink.

But, it still appears that your high-end engines are running aluminum carbs. I was also told that composite carbs are less expensive to create, which keeps the engine selling price down.

What are your experiences between the two?
