I like to use "Paint Grip" steel, which is a galvanized steel that's been submerged in a phosphate bath. The metal is designed to receive paint, which is one of the reasons why I chose it. The other reason is that my first choice was zinc, but it turned out to be too cost-prohibitive.

Be careful if you think that the weatherproof capacity of paint grip is the same as zinc. You may get rust that you don't necessarily want or expect.
