Caliper Bracket Material

Of this list, which material would be best suited for making a caliper bracket?

I'm not going for the prettyiest thing out there, just functional. Price is somewhat of a concern, but not the biggest.

You can use just the cold rolled 1018 low carbon steel. Nothing special. That will be probably your cheapest route and it will be plenty strong.
