Gold is durable and best--one of my R13 Bb's was done about 20 yrs ago and still looks like new.
FWIW, I just had a used R13 A clarinet silver plated and the total cost (including corks, pads, etc) was a bit under $500. For my hands, nickel always tarnished and looked terrible after a while. However, with silver on all my clarinets, there has never been a problem with wear or dulling of finish. And to me, silver just feels better.........
