Aluminum is fine if you're going to pour your drink into a glass, but despite the plastic inner sleeve you're still going to taste the metal edge if you sip from the can.
It's somewhat more expensive, and under current rules disposal is basically not the manufacturer's problem, or even the consumer's. Are they more common in (I assume) the UK?
Remember glass bottles? 
Weight is also a factor. All these bottles/etc are often transported in very carbon intensive supply chains. Any additional weight scales that footprint and has to be managed.
