Avoid aluminum --- it's conductance is too low at RF frequencies.  It works 
fine at 60 Hz but not HF. It will work but really limits your peak primary 
current.

Since potential across an inductor depends on peak current, you want it as 
high as possible.  Keep inductance as high as possible also by using a large 
dia. sec coilform.

Vsec = -L x dI/dt
