Closest aluminum values are diameter comparisons only. The same diameter does not provide the same holding strength, and this column does not indicate aluminum availability.
Starting notes are examples, not fixed rules. Branch stiffness, species, anchoring, and the bend you need all matter. Aluminum is usually preferred for deciduous and tropical trees.
