    I don't know that it matters. I always tried to stay away from the dis-similar metals thing. But, aluminum brackets are on literally thousands of chrome mirror arms. No matter which way you go, you should loosen the bracket up and clean the corrosion out every now and then, and check/clean your ground connections too.
