There is one characteristic that does dictate that steel>WG>platinum. The density of the metal has a direct bearing on its ability to resonate. Thus the BEST material for a Minute Repeater is steel, then WG, and finally platinum. However because of the desirability/cost of this complication it is more often found in platinum and gold and very rarely in steel.
