I would go with the 18/10 – or 18/8, which is just as good.
The 18 refers, of course, to 18% chromium content, and the other number refers to the percentage of nickel content. 18/0 has no nickel content, which means it won’t keep its silver-like shine over the years.

18/10 refers to the 300 series austenitic stainless steel grade…
18/0 refers to the ferritic or martensitic stainless steel grade.
Corrosion resistance of 18/0 is less than 18/8 or 18/10 grades…
So, unless the specific design allows it, better not to use 18/0 grade…
18/10 is more expensive and that has to be kept in mind…and thus the extra cost has to be justified too…
The role of designer is to work with all the constraints and give the best, optimal solutions…
