<<John, I have heard SS is a "soft" metal subject to galling if over torqued. I like the copper nuts because they are 12mm >>>.

Like anything else it all depends on what your buying.

Different alloys are available in any metal.

And the higher grade alloy sure won't gall at all.

Just depends on how much you want to spend.
