I am not sure about other 3 types of finish that BayPhoto has.
Bay has several available finishes for aluminum sheet images. I've used
glossy when I wanted to continue the sharp focus effect and I've used a
matte for a somewhat foggy image - both worked out well.
I don't see the image criteria being any different for aluminum plate images
than they would be for images being printed on papers.

Larry, Ken, - thanks for the followup information.
Bulent:
Other people have suggested what comes out well on metal (paper or
aluminum).
My experience with metallic PAPER (and from Larry described, I assume
prints on aluminum sheets have similar properties) is that glossy works
much better than matte. I am not sure about other 3 types of finish that
BayPhoto has.
I know that this photo comes out really well;

Just recently I used this for a birthday card - for the kid who likes
rainbows:

And it looked very well on Epson Metallic glossy paper that I mentioned
earlier.
Ann: I had used "Metallic Photo-Chrome Pearl" (from Atlex) that also got
discontinued recently. and then I found the new Epson Metaallic glossy
which is noticably better.

Thank you, Don, for the pointer.
I wasn't aware of that option. I just looked, - and they are indeed very
pricey. I like some photos how they look on metallic paper, and those
aluminum sheets look like an interesting option. But at this price, I'd
want to see how it looks first. So, I'll probably hold off until I can
get to some print shop that has them to show (which might not happen any
time soon, unfortunately).
I just managed to find a shop in Houston that presumably does this type
of prints. "Presumably" is because they don't have the price list on
their website ( http://www.akerimaging.com/ ). But I called them, and
they confirmed. I will try to stop by when I am in Houston on a weekday
to look at the samples.

Thanks. Yes I will hunt some down maybe from Red River as Paul S mentions
in another reply. I was referring to larger prints on sheets of aluminum.
They are pricey but come with a hanger and require no other framing,
mitigating cost somewhat. With the right subject and lighting they can be
quite attractive.
