As far as the fatigue limit (number of cycles) of titanium conrods compared with aluminium or steel, it depends on the tensile strenght or tensile stress (stress that has to be applied before the material will break) of the matrerials. Generally the higher the tensile strenght, the higher the fatigue limit is.
I would suspect that titanium conrods would be much better then aluminium as I suspect the particular alloy would have a higher tensile strenght. However, I am not familar with this particular alloy and couldn't be sure without doing some research that I really don't have time for (sorry!)
Steel (depending on the grade) is still probably better...

Just searching thru the matweb database of materials and it would appear that Ti-6-4 has a similar tensile strength compared to 4340 steel (what most billet conrods are made of).
Thanks again....all food for thought.
