Funnily enough I prefer Titanium to Aluminium for cooking.
I find that while the Aluminium conducts heat well it does not HOLD heat well. On the other hand Titanium does not conduct heat well but does hold it well.
I use a woodstove a lot and tend to rotate pots off and on the stove. I have observed that aluminium pots once off of the stove lose their heat quickly while Titanium holds heat. I once did a one on one contest between the 2 on a 2 burner Coleman stove and the Aluminium pot boiled water far more quickly but needed to be put back on the burner frequently to maintain heat. Meanwhile while slower to boil the titanium pot could be taken off of the stove and set aside. It would hold enough heat to cook the rice , pasta etc even if set on snow or cold, cold ground.
Anyway, if your concern is not just about fast boil time then Titanium is a good option.
