What showerhead won't rust or corrode quickly

I am lookng for a shower head as the last one rusted quickly.
My choices are brass, chrome, or pearl platinum.

Which metal is least likely to rust? Also, refrigerators in Hawaii rust in record time on the doors. Does anyone know if they make a rust resistant frig.

Aloha,
Shannon

Aloha Shannon. I think what you need is a showerhead that is actually made of brass, regardless of what color it is painted or plated. Hunt for a solid brass showerhead and it will hopefully be your last.

Most modern refrigerators have heating coils in the door and a switch to turn them on or off. The heating coils keep the door dry. Otherwise the door is cool and moistures condenses on it. It costs energy to use the heating coils, but the door will rust in a humid climate if you don't.
