Simpler is usually better. (at least it is easier for me to remember)

Yes, that was the original question, I answered the later question.

The simpler way to remember it is that any *terminal* allowed to be used for 'aluminum' is to be marked for use with aluminum.

Whether that terminal is on a breaker, terminal bar, device (switch/receptacle outlet), etc.
