It's rather rare to get wheel cylinders with steel pistons instead of aluminum. I've gotten both Military issued and NAPA and have never got one with steel. Last time I worked on my brakes, I applied non-petroleum silicone on the piston and cylinder area where the piston works and have yet to have a seized piston. My truck set for 3 years while working on the conversion and still the brakes work fine, so if you can't get steel pistons, lube with a non-petroleum base lubricant and you'll be fine.
