I'm sure this has been done to death over the years so apologies in advance! Is the normal wisdom still brass over alloy nipples? I know Cycleclinic likes alloy well enough. I'd prefer to go for black and the options are less for black in brass.

In dry air, there's no meaningful difference. Throw a salt spray at them and things change; stainless steel screwed into aluminium alloy under high tension is one of the worst possible combinations for stress corrosion cracking.
