In my Walter Mitty way I need to have some feed back on tube space frame material.

I understand that square will be easier to deal with than round, but what specific materials would be best for a LIGHT frame? I know, I know, aluminum or some exotic would be THE BEST but since I don't know how to tig/heliarc I will probably end up using some sort of steel. Again, any steel grade and wall thickness info would be appreciated.
