I try to never use mud in my woodworking. Even my _worst_ joints are tight
enough that it is not needed.

I've seen a fair bit of rusted corner bead - when in a damp area with
no paint. The stuff is lightly galvanized - there are also blastic
corner beads that won't rust - - -

went with the metal as it seems to me the mud will adhere better to
metal than the plastic

one possible con against the metal bead is that it can rust if in a
moisture prone environment

hopefully paint would prevent that and probably not a factor here

but one possible downside for metal

looking more closely at this corner bead i am starting to think it is
galvanized

guessing that it is hot dipped galvanized

i do recall seeing rusted corner bead but it may have been an old
installation
