The pint is that if they're stainless then they'll stain less, so yes there is a point.

I changed all mine to stainless btw.

A good place to use stainless fittings because they don't have to take any real stresses or load.

Use plenty of copper grease on the threads.

I did mine cos the inside hex OEM ones were rounding after half a dozen on/offs. Shiney.
