It is true that SS cables work harden and fish-hook much quicker than galvanized. That's why you saw a lot of galvanized running rigging on race yachts in the old days. (Now days it's all synthetic.) I think, however, that unless you're running silly high tensions in your control cables, or silly small sheaves, you won't have a problem with stainless, particularly 3/32" 7x19.

P.S. Another thing I discovered while researching this is that the FAA is frowning upon the use of stainless control cables at all.
