I know the brass/chrome caps are technically correct, and some purists insist on them, but they are somewhat fragile, and prone to dents and cracking simply due to the material. I buy/swap/sell, and restore the stainless type, and most prefer those, as not only can they be polished to look almost as good as a chrome cap, they hold up much better and not as easy to dent when putting them on. On occasion I get a brass cap in a set (sometimes unintentionally), and probably 90% of the time I can count on them having at least one crack around the outer rim, and I have several hanging on a wall that I cannot restore. I have a '72 C20 I am restoring, and it will get the stainless caps vs. the brass/chrome. Even though my truck is a highly optioned Cheyenne, it came with painted hubcaps, but going with the Accuride wheels, and restored stainless caps.
