What is important when buying a crock pot/slow cooker? I see there's aluminium, ceramics, stainless steel, etc.

Making sure they have the grooves around the handles and the pot itself, and come with those heat-resistant elastic bands. Gotta be able to strap it closed for carrying, so your shredded meat doesn't fly out when you're bringing it up 3 flights of stairs to your tabletop rpg group for game night.

Not while on Low. That's my preferred method of dinner prep, just drop a roast in the morning with some water, seasonings, and veggies, come home 10 hours later to a perfectly tender dinner

As long as you don't do anything stupid like leaving anything easily flammable like a rag or something on top of it you should be fine.

slow cookers are overrated nonsense. anything a slow cooker can do, can be done better by conventional methods. slow cookers are for people who'd rather do crossfit than lift weights and run on an off day.

Slow cookers don't need to be attended to constantly. They're a great alternative to roasting in an oven on low heat for hours on end when you don't have time to just sit around and make sure the house doesn't burn down.
That said, many stand-alone pressure cookers also have a slow cook function, so OP may be better off looking into a combination pressure/slow cooker than a regular crock pot.

To add to this, stand-alone pressure cookers are a great way to feed lots of people, so while you're researching pressure cookers, you should also look into large public gatherings happening near you so you can test your pressure cooker out right away.
