I have read that mirrors are not optimal reflectors and that things like annodised aluminium are better.

My guess is that the reason for this is that glass does not allow all of the light that hits it to pass through. With a mirror the light has to pass through the glass twice and so the loss of light is high no matter how good the reflector on the back of the mirror is.
