For the money, nothing beats copper for heat sinking. Sure, silver is a bit better, but who wants to pay for a solid silver heat sink. Steel just stinks. It may be great for many things, but conducting heat is not among them. Brass is used a lot in modules. It isn't as good as aluminum, but aluminum is too soft for making modules out of.
