Bag the stainless and use bronze instead - you'll slep more soundly.

I'd have to say that 316 is the way to go, if you need the strength of
stainless steel. Otherwise, you should go with the marine bronze.
The 304 has some serious issues, especially in an area where it has
exposure to chlorine ions.
