I really don't do much residential but you should check the installation instructions for the transformer. There may be a restriction about putting them in the attic to begin with because of the high temperatures encountered there.
You could try installing it in the cabinet under the sink, or in a basement or crawlspace.
Generally, any wire that is concealed cannot be a low voltage wire. Since aromored cable is the wiring method of choice in your area, that is what it will need to be, Once the wire is no longer concealed, then low voltage wire would be appropriate. However, if the transformer is listed as a Class 2 Power Supply (it will be marked on the transformer), then Class 2 low voltage cable would be allowed in a concealed location.
