Platinum or Copper G-wires?

I was wondering which do you guys think is more of a quality grounding wire? platinum or copper? Becasue this shop i go to manufacturers Platinum Grounding Kits and i was wondering has anyone heard of this and if so do you think the Platinum Ground Kit is good?

platinum has 6 times the resistivity of copper. more = worse.
