Aluminum vs. Steel Gutters? Seamless vs. sectional?

Any perspectives on what gutters offer the best tradeoff between durability/reduced maintenance and value-add for a single story SFH?

I plan to hold + rent the home for 10+ years, and I'd rather not have to spend a lot of time/money/energy maintaining the gutters (nor would I expect renters to be diligent about maintaining them, even if I included such a specification in my lease).

I chatted with a gutter repair contractor, and he advised me to stay away from aluminum seamless, although that appears to be the most widely-promoted option. Wanted to get people's thoughts on if baked enamel steel gutters provided an appropriate tradeoff for the extra cost.
