It's not so much as to what is strongest, but what is easier to work with. If designed properly, anything can be strong. Go with brakeline |

Brakeline would the easiest, if you can braze well enough and get the bends and joints done right then it will be lighter and srtonger. If you think it needs some more strength in a certain spot then cut and braze. I have made a ute style tuber out of stainless http://www.rcpics.net/view_single.php?medid=75059 and a buggy style out brakline with alloy panels http://www.rcpics.net/view_single.php?medid=75060 and the brakeline one is a quarter of the weight and just as strong.
