Corrosivity of Methyl Sulfonic Acid vs. Sulfuric Acid

I'm looking to protect a surface from chemical exposure and need to know if Methyl Sulfonic Acid is more corrosive than Sulfuric Acid.
Thanks,

More corrosive to what? Which metal or plastic or human skin or?
Strength is also a major factor as in 98% sulfuric can be stored in plain steel but as it absorbs water, the top surface % will decrease and will seriously attack the air/liquid interface area of the steel.
