William, I have both nickel and stainless and don't have a strong preference for one over the other. Nickel is very attractive and holds up well with reasonable care. But stainless is an excellent metal for guns, and will not wear off. Nickel has a slight gold tone while stainless is more silver. Nickel will also discolor slightly over time where as stainless will not.
