What about material? I found 3 kinds (are there more?), galvanised, stainless and steel. I suppose stainless is too brittle for suspension parts?
Are galvanised okay?

Pretty much all of the aftermarket suspension pieces I have on my car have Nylock nuts. Hrdware stores and shops that specialise in nuts and bolts are the best place to go, Ebay not so much because you can't confirm fitment and quality.

Is it correct that there are different grades of Nylock? During google search there was mention of e.g. grade 5 and 8.
