Default Stainless steel hot water cylinders

My old vented indirect copper cylinder has started to leak around the immersion heater boss so its time for a replacement.
I am thinking of going for a stainless steel one but as I live in Kent which has hard water would this be a problem with s/s, and is there any electrolytic reaction between the cylinder and the copper pipework or should I connect with short tails in hep2o.
