I would go with a cast iron boiler. I made that change from a New Yorker steel, to Burnham Cast Iron. Much better boiler. heats up good, holds heat better, doesn't get as dirty, the list goes on.
On another note
I cleaned my own boiler for years. Had a boiler technician come in for a repair and he showed me what I was missing. A lot more to annual clean ups / tune ups than brushing out the sections and changing nozzles and filters. Now the tech comes every year. Much better running boiler :)

Then when the safety valve releases, they will usually continue to leak. If for some reason the safety relief valve doesn't kick, oh boy.
