Is there a certain heavy duty rivet i should be using? aluminum or something else?

Sledtoyz sells the double pull yamaha style rivits and price and shipping is fast and reasonable. I do recommend getting a cheap hydraulic air riveter as they are a pita to pull by hand. My hands hurt for a week after doing a set of a-arm guards by hand.

Quite honestly, I bought a bunch of those special rivets as well as some regular steel shank rivets locally and found the regular ones harder to pull. And they hold just as well as the special ones.

I use steel rivets with a large head on them. The larger head helps stop them from spinning.
