What bridge/nut material should I get?

[Heretic]

Brass, aluminum or stainless steel? I'm about to finish my Warmoth swamp ash strat and am looking for a bridge and a nut material. Which has the best tonal properties or perhaps, which material least colors the sound of a guitar?

Thanks!

I like a bone nut.

I like either a bone or Ivory nut, and a steel bridge from www.callahamguitars.com . I think they make the best bridge on the market. Pricey, but worth it.

I'd stay away from brass. I use stainless steel strings and they bind in the brass. Aluminum is a little better, but I like a bone nut better than anything.
