I'm not sure about the difference in conductivity between galvanized steel, untreated steel, copper, etc.

I'd say go to HD, buy the cheapest steel washers and polish them shiny with a wire wheel.

Galvanized would be fine, scuff them on a piece of 80 grit. Also make sure you get the mounting points down to bare metal. Can cover with paint when done.

Star lock washers are very effective.

Brake line compression washers made of copper. Got mine at Autozone in the Help section.
