304 vs 316 Stainless Plate Dropouts

316 is a bit more corrosion resistant. If it’s only a couple dollars more I’d go for it.

Get some 309L filler instead. I posted about this the other day.

The biggest thing when welding is take your time and let it cool down as much as you can. Carbide precipitation will happen if it stays too hot for too long.
