Depends on the gun and what its for.

For a working/carry gun, hard chrome or tenifer/melonite. So far, they have held up to hard use the best.

SS is OK, but its soft and the surface is easily damaged/scratched. Still prone to rust too.

I like parkerizing on a lot of guns, both long guns and handguns, but its really not all that rust resistant, and tends to wear pretty quick. Not all park jobs are the same either. Some are heavy and almost quartzy, while some look like nothing more than a weak wash.

Bluing all depends on the gun and the blue. A properly preped gun, and a good blue job, is about the prettiest thing going, is usually pretty tough, to a point, but my sweat and blued guns dont get on well at all, and need the most and constant attention.
