The only guitar I've ever had to have levelled (not refretted) was my 30 yr old Ibanez S-540. I use 9's and tend to mostly play light with my left hand. Also rarely play over an hour or two a day.
Nickel frets have never been a problem. The only guitars I have with SS frets is my Korean Raven West superstrat & the two locally made Kadence axes I bought last year. Yeah, no fret wear, but they're all relatively new compared to some of my others which are all fine as well.
I do think think SS frets tend to make guitars a bit brighter sounding though (not a bad thing ...just noticebly different).
