Best Stainless for bending with press brake?

I have a small project coming up where I'll have to bend up something similar to a U channel. It needs to be out of stainless since it's going to be in a wet environment. My question is what type of stainless would be best suited for bending without cracking at the bends? It's only going to be 1/32" material, nothing heavy duty. I'm just worried about getting stress cracks at the bends, especially since I have to have a very small bend radius.
thanks

304 could probably be to most available. I don’t think you will have any issues with cracks in the bends like with some aluminum.
