I guess aluminum is more like the cheap version of brass washers.

I can't remember the last time I saw a crush washer of the type you're describing. I HAVE seen them, so I know what you're talking about, but all I've ever seen used over the last 30 years (including factory parts for Porsche & Ferrari) is the Flat Washer of (usually) aluminum, but occasionally copper. (Never brass. Alu and Cu are MUCH more malleable than brass).
Here's the Porsche Brand washer for the referenced application, you'll note it is a flat, alu washer.

Where do YOU buy a crush-washer of the type you're describing?
