What would you torch men out there recommend as a really good rod to use for a set of Stainless Lugs? Let's say I decided to go with a Dedaccia or 631 tubeset.

Any recommendations?

Nickle silver, I just use safety sil wire and flux. As to the very best, you might ask Fred Parr, or Henry James as they both offer designer consumables for bike builders.

56% silver is generally recommended for stainless. 50N is also good if the gap is large.
