I have a carbon boom which is amazing, but I like to carry a second boom for rigging a second sail or if my dad wants to borrow something. What is the best aluminum boom to get?

I have bought a few Unifibre bits recently which I have been impressed with, so I am looking at the Unifibre HD but the Neil Pride XFS one looks good. It would be a Wave 140 or 190.

i've had a good run with Duotone Silver
I like the bend curve in the wave size, they are durable and reasonably stiff without being too heavy
Only negative is the outhaul cleat feels flimsy, although not had an issue

would not bother....very hard to go back to using a ally boom after having a carbon one.
i tried but just ended up getting a good second hand carbon one.
