Whether a nickel plated brass or stainless steel adapter would be better would depend on the needs of the intended application. Nickel plated brass is a better heat conductor than stainless steel. It has a high corrosion resistance so can be used around water, such as in marine environments. It is also typically less expensive. Stainless steel can have a very high corrosion resistance, and is good for use around certain acids and petroleum. It is usually stronger than nickel plated brass and usually has a higher operating temperature limit.
