    My understanding is that stainless steel is generally more brittle than other "steels" (i.e. tends to break rather than bend), but that was related to stainless cutlery etc and probably only applies to some types of stainless.

    The only barrel I have ever had that developed pitting was stainless, but tat might not have been related to the type of steel.
