Besides, is Jescar stainless steel?

We have selected a stainless steel alloy that provides the best combination of fret life and installation ease. Most fretwire is manufactured in coils for ease of installation.

Also question is, what are Evo frets made of? EVO Gold frets are made from a new alloy — harder than normal German silver frets — Silicon/Copper/Iron/Titanium. EVO Gold frets are between 18% nickel/Copper/Zinc German silver and stainless steel on the Vickers Hardness scale (German silver: 200; EVO Gold: 250; stainless steel: 300).

Considering this, what fret wire is best?

Short frets like the 6230, 6150, and 6130 are good for people who really like to feel to fingerboard when they play chords. Whereas, jumbo or medium-jumbo frets feel smoother, provide extra sustain, and can let you bend without exerting as much force.
