New wheelset aside, your fork preferences should be in the following order: carbon, steel, aluminum.

Aluminum, while lighter than steel, although probably not the case of an el cheapo aluminum fork, tends to provide a harsh ride compared to the other two.

If you like how your bike currently handles do try to get a fork with a similar rake.
