I have Cascadias on my commuter but that's only because I can't find anything nearly that big in aluminum. The Cascadias are good and cheap, but they lose out to the Honjos on my other bike because the Honjos are prettier and lighter. In addition, because the Honjos are lighter, they're also less prone to the "wiggles".
If your aluminum fenders are cracking around the mounting point, that's only because you didn't use leather or rubber washers around the mounting points.
