So, like some other comments, knowing the weight rating of the ladder is super important; the aluminum ones tend to have higher ratings and be more stable. The next consideration would be, why do you want an attic ladder? Please don't say to store things in the attic space. As an inspector, I can tell you most trusses are not designed for any more load than the sheetrock ceiling, and people who store a lot of stuff up there tend to have ceiling cracks. On top of that fact is that in the summer months, attic temperatures can and do reach 140 degrees. That is certainly not good for anything you might care about.
Just some things to think about, hope its helpful
