I won't use brass or galvaniged hardware for anything, espically in
the basement or bathroom. If I'm going to go through the trouble I
put in stuff built to last, which does not include things made with
flimsy coatings like brass or galvanized hardware. I don't like
seeing rust all over stuff.

Brass is an alloy, not a coating.

Brass bolts won't rust. That is why they use brass in thru hull
fittings on boats. It is even more corrosion resistant than 316
stainless, especially in warm climates.
