Best Platter Material

With different turntable platters being used out there, is there one that is better over amother for vinyl playback?

The most common materials I've come across include:
- aluminum
- acrylic
- glass
- delrin
- ceramic
- copper

Also, if using some sort of platter mat (felt, rubber, cork, etc.) does it even matter which material is being used for the platter?

M Fremer in his last article about the VPI CLASSIC 3 turntable (best analog component of the year) wrote aluminium is the best material.

One point for acrylic, check the best turntables in the world (Transrotor, Clearaudio...) all of their flagship models has this platter material
