Is there a advantage to using any of the 84-074 series rollers? Nylon over Stainless Steel or just steel? Why offer three types with the same dimensions?

Some people, like my wife, prefer using nylon rollers on screen doors. However she doesn't have to replace them; that's my job! So I normally prefer using the steel wheels because I find they last longer than nylon. If you're near a salt water area you might want to get the stainless steel version, which of course is better at resisting corrosion.
