Default Bronze or Stainless?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?


Well, stainless will hold an edge better than bronze and so makes
superior cutlery. Stainless has higher tensile strengh, makes stronger
turnbuckles and prop shafts. Bronze is far easier to cast and thus make
complex shapes.
