A better choice, for durability, cleaning, etc etc, but I dont believe it is a health problem for his monitor from the aluminum. The health problem it could get from the pan that is more immediate from pitted aluminum could be bacteria build up, and cleaning problems. Either way it is better to use an inexpensive plastic dish.
This started with a claw loss problem, I still believe basic husbandry problems such as a screen top, lack of substrate, and lack of good hides can combine to cause toe/claw loss, as well it causes the ends of tails to fall off easily. Ive seen badly kept monitors returned to pet stores with these problems, they were kept in aquariums with screen tops, and reptariums, and rabbit cages.
As Ive seen wrong substrate can do it to with stress.
