There is an obvious weight difference. How much tougher, longer lasting, more durable would the stainless be over the aluminum? Will the aluminum hold up to as much heavy use?

It's not the shooting that will cause problems, it's the carrying and banging around. A model 63 wil shoot more ammunition that you'll probably ever see, and maintain the looks with only slight care (don't use it to drive tent stakes), and your grandchildren can still use it.
The 317 needs better care to maintain looks, and won't take as much abuse.
