Brass, alloy rounds off easier but Ive only rode brass from the start so other opinions may be more optional  All this would probably matter as to how often you need to true wheels as well.

Hi,
I have never had any issue with aluminium nipples. In general brass nipples should be less critical, but as long as you take care for the nipples while truing the wheel (that means having a nipple spanner which is very exact) I would say you can use them for a long time. Maybe the get round with a nipple spanner that is not well fitting, but the thread never caused problems to me.
