Answer
I spoke to Eagle Claw today concerning this issue and found them very willing to help. Here's what I was told ranking them from MOST resistant to Saltwater DOWN toward the least resistant:
Stainless Steel
Seaguard (Nickel Tin)
Seaguard (Black Tin)
Saltwater Red
Gold (Nickel/Brass)
Platinum Black
Nickel
Bronze
This list is somewhat specific to the Eagle Claw line, but Mustad and others use similar metals.
Eagle Claw was not willing to place any "timeframes" around the various metals due to conditions such as temperature, salinity, water depth, type of fish and where it might be hooked. All of these and more affect the actual metal breakdown timelines.
