Consideration for buying a used entry-level road bike. AlumninumAluminum vs Carbon vs Steel?

Consideration for buying a used entry-level road bike.

What is better: AlumninumAluminum vs Carbon vs Steel ?

I don't care regarding the weight +/- 2-3 kg.

The durability is important for me.] I know that it's very difficult to repair an aluminiumaluminum. Also to repair carbon seems to be easier, but it's not cheap. Seems to more than a half price of the used entry level road bicycle.

The steel (chromoly), seems to be more durable and easier to repair, but it's relatively old model without modern derailleurs. And probably to find replacement might be a bit tricky.

What dohave I miss / wrong missed? Any brand recommendtations recommendations?
