Does it make any difference what metal is used in parallel connections, considering small voltage?

For example, the series buses being all nickel...can use small copper wire, SS or even tinfoil for the parallel connections on a 36v pack 10s3p???
 
I figure mixing metals is okay, as long as less-conductive leads to greater-conductive, as in Nickle to nickle coated copper. Right? Please excuse basic level question, but am learning, bit by byte here.
 
galvanic corrosion can complicate things

Most solutions to that problem, e.g. Tef-gel

are likely to introduce unwanted resistance.

Just something to be aware of.

Tin or nickel coatings used on materials designed for carrying electrical current are generally compatible.
