I've used aluminum fence wire for antennas for years with never a problem. I've used it from #17 to #10. Works just fine. I hook it to copper using electrical wire nuts squirted with anti oxidant grease and then seal the connection in silicon rubber. As for sag, never noticed any, but I always use open wire line into a real balanced matching device so if there was any sag the tuner took care of the extra length.
