Brass is supposed to be a better and longer lasting conducter. You'll notice no difference between the two other than the brass one will last longer. Its up to you really on how much you are willing to spend.

I have one with brass terminals and I pulled it off last week had it on for 10 months and look new. Its worth the extra few bucks.
