Load bearing magnesium parts such as wheels have a shelf life unlike alloy. I assume the carrier would be the same.
The weight in the carrier would never be noticed like it would with wheels so I would stick to to the alloy option.
As for wear alloy will last for quite a long time and you will be up for chain and sprocket replacement either way in the long term.
The harder you ride the quicker the wear! Pull wheelies and do lots of standing start drag racing and you will change this stuff every 6000 klm.
Ride like this only occasionally and you would expect to change this stuff every 12000 klm to maintain sharp response and performance. IMHO
