Drainage ... you park on a slope.  As for corrosion, all the big livestock 
transport trailers have aluminum diamond plate floors.  They must hold up or 
the companies that build them would find some other material to use.  We have 
a 20' gooseneck livestock trailer into which we built LQs.  The horse area is 
covered with rubber trailer mats to prevent slippage.  We also haul cattle in 
it and wash the floors and walls (and park on a slope to drain) when we 
finish.
