As Nolan says, brass nuts are better, mainly from a corrosion point of view.
However, I've used steel nuts in the past with no noticeable problems
(probably because the %&*$#^ manifold-to-downpipe gasket blew so often the
nuts never had a chance to rust in place!). I am suspicious of the strength
of S/S nuts, and would probably choose normal steel in preference.
