It really doesn't matter to me what brand a person buys because it's their money. I will have to say that Chevy and the US Government dropped the ball on the rusting brake lines.
I bought a 2003 1500 new and really wasn't exposed to that much salt and the brakes lines rusted through. My son had a 2004 1500 and the brake lines rusted through. My friend had about a 2000 1500 and the brake lines rusted through. I had a 2001 Cavalier that my son bought new and the brake lines rusted through. The number of other vehicles that I have owned and other people that I know that have had rusted through brake lines is 0.
It is possible that some of the people that I know have had rusted lines but I haven't heard about them. My wife's 2004 Freestar brake lines have a coating on them and look great. I'm convinced that GM used inferior material on these brake lines.
None of these except my 2003 was reported to the NHTSA so I'm sure the numbers were many more than what was reported.
