In my order of preference..

Burners:
brass
stainless
cast iron

Grill:
cast iron
porcelain
stainless (3/8" or larger rods only)

When I bought mine last year I could find none that had both brass burners
and a cast iron grill so I got a Jenn-Air that had brass burners and
stainless for the grill. Figured it might be easier to change grills later
than it would be to change burners.
