Default Bronze vs. Nickel Hooks

This question has been on the back burner for some time and it finally came to light again.

Given the choice of both materials, fashioned in the same shape, which would you choose and why?

Personally, I have gone with nickel but other than it being more visually pleasing, I thought what other reasons do I have for staying with them?

I've been doing some trout fishing lately and opted to go with bronze hooks because they were very economical and haven't noticed any losses in hook ups or failures. The bronze hooks have actually been pretty darn good performance wise.

The only thing I have observed about bronze hooks, and this is not from a performance perspective, is that they can rust rather quickly.

I've love to hear any thoughts you might have on choosing one over the other, or, not being partial to either and why. Thanks!
