This is probably a dumb question, but I've seen some places use 316 stainless steel and other use 304 stainless steel. Is there a benefit to using one or the other?

Thanks!

One is less prone to rust, than the other. However, you can use both types without any worries.
 
As others said, rust. But as long as your not storing your mash tun outside in the rain you will never notice it on either type...
 
Post up some pictures of your build. I am curious to see how it turns out. Thanks!
