Default Water tanks - alum or plastic?

This seems like good advise. I keep hearing horror stories of folks
draining all their drinking water into the bilge when they spring a
pressure water leak. I always turn my pressure water off at the panel
when it isn't in use, but also have two tanks that are isolated so it
takes a greater level of idiocy to dump all the fresh water. I also
like to make my water into a working tank and keep a known good tank
in reserve in case something goes wrong there.
