I can't really say which is better but, going by my limited experience, I will probably not buy any more nickel plated brass. On some of my .357 Mag. cases the nickel has started to flake off and, IIRC, I read somewhere that nickel flakes are not good for barrels. I'm not sure if that's a fact or just someone's opinion, but I'm not taking any chances. Regular brass works just as well for my purposes anyway.
