all those are high grade tubesets, air hardening and some are stainless?

but like someone else mentioned its the tubing thickness more than the steel grade you need to worry about IMO. I'm not a framemaker however. i believe you can purchase tubesets in those grades in a variety of wall thickness and taper.

yes, a good discussion with the framemaker, what might be more important is what tubeset the builder likes to work with, and then specify burlier wall thicknesses.

PDF from renyolds here about available tubesets for you to look at.
