Aluminum distribution Plates?

What is the latest thought on Aluminum distribution plates? I am trying to determine what is the best way to go in terms of getting the most from my dollar. It seems like there are several thicknesses to choose from and theories on the spacing of these plates. I plan to install between 2x10 flr joists, 16" O.C. with 3/4 ply sub floor, coverings will be 3/4 hardwood in some areas and slate tile in others. This will be over a basement that i hope to finish someday soon so did not plan on insulating the joists. It would seem like the thicker the Aluminum the better it will transfer so this would be a no brainer if i had an infinite bank account but at some point the Aluminum thickness and efficiency must level out right? How about opinions on the bubble foil? Any thoughts from you pros.?
