Default Bushing material

I want to spin a nylon shaft in a plain bearing/bushing at low rpm. Is
the choice of bushing material critical? Will brass or copper do?

As a matter of general principle should the shaft and bushing be made
of different material? What would happen (for argument's sake) if one
spun a brass shaft in a copper bushing?

Thanks,

Michael Koblic,
Campbell River, BC
