Brass nipples or Alloy on 32h Open Pro 180lb rider

I have a pair of record open pro 32h, both 3x... but the rims are warn so wil be rebuilding with new open pros....

While I'm at it is it worth going to alloy nipples in front and/or rear on non-drive side (rear)?

I love the open pros for durability, would I be greatly reducing this with the lighter weight alloy nipples? I know the weight savings is small- but it's rotational weight is great since it's so far from the hub....
