But the current path involved in such a clamp is a small fraction of an 
inch.  If one were winding a primary, the losses of such conductors would 
be significant, but in this application, I can't imagine there would be any 
detectable difference.

At RF frequencies all 4 of these would be a poor choice.  Best to stick with
brass or copper.
