All steel ex pipes corrode unless they are coated with either a ceramic or
ali plasma coating (and even then sometimes...) so unless you are ready to
replace them frequently they really should be some sort of stainless -and
they just corrode more slowly... the better the stainless, the slower they
corrode. You get what you pay for.

About the only thing is a a copper loaded grease (Copaslip), although
silicon RTV works excellently as a pipe to head gasket goo.
