Does using higher ISO settings increase the risk of more aberration? From what I have experience I see more aberration occurring with increasing my ISO settings even from ISO 400 compared to ISO 100.

From this day on- TRIPOD, TRIPOD, TRIPOD, TRIPOD to anywhere I go and ISO 100...

sorry but it doesnt make sense, you are using a canon 1D mark IV and 2.8 lenses, you shouldn't have any problem, you aren't exposing well, yes ISO 100 is a lot better but 400 shouldnt be a problem for a full frame camera

I don't think ISO has anything to do with CA (if that's the type of aberration you're talking about). Possibly you're also changing f-stop too which could have an impact. Subject matter is the biggie - and where it is in the frame.

Have a read here and here. In general, Lightroom 4's automatic CA removal works very well with my camera (5D MK II) and wide angle lenses

If by aberration you mean digital noise, then yes, higher ISO = more digital noise.

No. He must mean Chromatic-aberration and its got nothing to do with high ISO,  its either the sensor or the lens. Sorry to say it but most often its got to do with either a bad copy of the lens or just cheap kit lenses.
Its nothing to worry about you just remove it in the raw-converter tool for chromatic aberration.

all good tips and points- I have been able to remove most of it via RAW and lens correction in CS. I have the Canon 24-70 F2.8 First Generation- I wonder if the 2nd Generation is much better for stuff like this?

Did you mean chromatic aberration (blue-yellow or cyan-magenta shifts along contrasty edges, particularly towards the edges of images? I don't think ISO has any effect on that, that I've noticed. The lens profile in ACR does well in eliminating the cyan-magenta shift, which IMO is more common. Not so good for blue-yellow.

Or do you mean colour noise, which appears if you have to lighten shadows, and is worse with higher ISOs. There are various ways you can tackle this, but start with the colour noise slider in ACR.

OTOH, I had an image accepted (iS) XXXL (full size) yesterday, that was taken at 1600 ISO.  :)

wow 1600 iso that is amazing! it is chromatic aberration mostly blue-yellow issue such as tree leaves against a bright sky or a building edge against the sky...

Is that blue-yellow, or the dreaded 'purple fringing', which is a real PITA.

First copy of 24-70 is well known for CA, second copy, slightly better but can still produce CA if too much contrast on the wide side. Not much you can do about it really. You know the old saying? Nikon for wides, Canon for teles.
You want to be sure? then go for Primes of the same focals.

BTW. all my wides for an HD4 produce slight CA,  so even the very best is not faultless.
