Both aluminum and nonstick cookwares are safe for cooking use. However, aluminum can withstand more heat that nonstick cookware can. The non-stick part of a cookware will melt off at a certain temperature.

Aluminum, according to scientific sources, is seen as potentially toxic when ingested by the body. It has been linked to Alzheimer's disease and mental degeneration. Because using aluminum cooking ware leeches out some of the metallic element in the food, similar to how cooking with cast iron will increase the iron in the food, it would be wiser to avoid using aluminum over the long-term.

It has not been shown that the minute amount of aluminum which can enter food via cookware is clinically significant, with the exception of cooking acidic foods (like tomato sauces, balsamic vinegar) in them. Most aluminum in the body comes from baked goods (bread, doughnuts, cakes) due to the use of baking powder which includes aluminum diphosphate.
