Default Brass or Bronze?

I usually use brass for rebar. My supplier told me he caries bronze bar as
well. I don't know anything about bronze other than that the Greeks killed
alot of people with it. Is it softer or more flexable than Brass?

Bronze is better. Mainly in its weathering and salt water resistance
whereas brass can perish over time.
