how is a stainless steel ball going to wear with mere water going past it?

I don't know about superior, but they should be fine for low pressure
full on-off applications. Partially open, the ball may wear to the
degree it no longer offers complete shut-off, so these are not a good
choice for pressure/flow/noise regulation.
