The material makes no difference near as I can tell, and aluminum is as light or lighter than carbon in this application, and much cheaper.
Carbon handlebars might make a difference. After installing them on my road bike I feel fairly isolated from the chip seal road buzz - but again, I can't say that it's actually the bars and not the new tape. At least with carbon you can get more interesting shapes and save close to 100g for the cost.
