Plutonium would probably be the worst substance to build a dirty bomb out of. Its so heavy that persistence becomes a problem (most of the Plutonium would just settle to the ground), and Plutonium would need to be inhaled to be dangerous which poses a problem since its so heavy.
Something like Strontium-90 would be better.
