Is there any particular advantage to a porcelain coated tub in a
washing machine vs plastic or stainless? Seems plastic and stainless
would have the edge since they never rust.

Stick with stainless. Avoid plastic and porcelain coated at all cost.

Porcelain is, or do you really mean enamel? Resists chemical and is good a long as it
does not nick. Stainless can show rust over time. Dionized water
can harm it. Plastic can warp.

Stainless is the way to go.

Do you really have DI water coming out of your tap? Cool. I just
have
regular chlorinated water from the Great Lakes.
