RIMS: Aluminum, Chromed Steel, Stainless Steel

I have two bikes, a Z1A and a 68 Triumph T100 that need new spokes and rims.

Been looking for used but condition of most is not reflected in price.

For new, I see Aluminum, Chromed Steel, and Stainless Steel and would like to know the pros and cons of each flavor.

Plus I need to know how to choose the right rim to match my hub. (Making the correct spoke nipple indentation...hub...spoke match)

Also would like to know of any 'wholesale' places to purchase rims and spokes.

On my old bicycles I like stainless steal. They stay nice and shiny.
