Strum Box Strainer

I need to replace the strum box strainers, and my inital throught was to replace like for like (my current ones are the brass variety).

But then I saw modern plastic ones are about the same price and have a non return value.

Whats the wisdom here - should I go modern and get plastic?

Re: Strum Box Strainer

I wouldn't have any problem with a plastic strum box [strainer] - in fact, I'd much prefer it to brass.
I wouldn't recommend a non-return valve, which are prone to failure.
