Lake City brass is almost always worth the scrounge, and then the case prep if you have a decent size batch.
I've still got some LC 76 Bicentennial nickel brass that had a hard life before I got it. It's rubbed to nothing, but my, the cases that could still hold a primer when I first got the stuff, they still shoot GREAT.

Down hills fast
Tonnage first and
Safety last.
