If anyone wants to buy me a set of Ti rods I will paint the bike any color you want, put your name on it in neon lights and cook sunday dinner for you all year, babysit any time you like and wash your car every week.

If you are just being a weight weenie get the aluminum ones. Assuming the Ti bolts have to fit in the same threads they are heavier than the aluminum ones.

Aluminum is lighter, Ti is stronger, has better heat properties, and corrosion resistance. They are used on aircraft for the heat & corrosion properties.

I wouldn't use aluminum in sprocket nuts or rotor bolts for race use, too soft.
