I prefer spring steel for the support they provide. Pat |

Tempered stainless is what I use. It supports well but doesn't stain or rust. |

I have the same set for 5 years now. I get about 1000 bends before replacing. If you have tempered . you will be good just cover the spring steel with foil. I agree spring steel won't deform |
