we tend to use copper, aluminum, and other types of metals because they are great conductors of electricity, in fact, they are also very cheap and efficient.

Answer:

Those are the best electricity conductors that we can use to span large distances with large amounts of power. Its also alot cheaper to use copper wire than other kinds of metals. not to mention copper can bend easily and that makes the job of putting on wires alot faster and easier.
