I use cast iron, old, high grade cast iron, Griswold, etc., not the new stuff; or a very high grade copper clad steel French one. The French one is the easiest one to clean, by far. You can mostly just soak it!
Professional cooks, great chefs in the best restaurants in the world, where a meal costs $1,000, without wine, mostly use heavy, and even coated, aluminum. You can watch them on television, etc. They don't know.
That's another story....I don't use it. Wikipedia: "Despite its prevalence in the environment, (third most common element in Earth's crust) no known form of life uses aluminium metabolically, but aluminium is well tolerated by plants and animals."
How well tolerated, do you think? 2009 Study: "...The results support the following possibilities in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease: Al could be involved in the aggregation of Abeta peptides to form toxic fibrils; Al might induce Abeta peptides into the beta-sheet structure; and Al might facilitate iron-mediated oxidative reactions, which cause severe damage to brain tissues."
Look up antihemorrhagics: aluminium is a powerful coagulant, vaso constrictor, with many uses to stop bleeding. So, what researchers say, about research findings, re aluminium bonding with other elements, notably iron, in the Alzheimer brain, seems obvious, and even basic. American industries and utilities are wedded to aluminum. As a kid I used Ban Roll On, filled with aluminum chloro hydrate, I believe. I didn't know any better. Disgusting.

My family never used stainless steel for frying, but always old cast iron. Human metabolism actually needs iron.... actually a lot of it.
I do not leave oil in cast iron, and just wipe it out, to keep it seasoned, indefinitely. It is a pet peev. My family did.
I could have majored in chemistry, gone on to medical school, or into petroleum by products...I don't do it, don't leave the oil.
You do whatever you want. Oil left in a skillet to
' season' becomes like hydrogenated fat, or a species of plastic. It doesn't stick, or sticks less, but who cares? You might as well use teflon, or spray non stick plastic in the skillet. You end up eating it in dribs and drabs, plastic.

I scour cast iron after every use. I do not leave any cooked on oil, to season.
There are cast iron so called experts who will disagree. Oh well.
