One of the larger issues is chromium migration with repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Things tend to rust, paticularly in humid environments.

410 is usually a stronger alloy and works a bit better with boro
More prone to rust over time

302 and 304 work and is available in much smaller sizes.
but it anneal at a lower temp and can be bendy or springy.

308 and 316 is fairly common

You might want to check azom.com or matweb for metalurgy details.
