Can i use Zinc plates ?
Zinc will cause alot of crud to build up in your water vey quickly. They will produce hydrogen/oxygen, but at the cost of having nasty rust colored goop in your generator.

what about copper or lead as used in car batteries so should be less corrosive as it usually sits in acid and distilled water

Copper oxidizes badly.
I bet gold would work really well:
Buy my generator it's golden and will only cost $16,500, hey thats more then your car, and make sure you don't crash.
Stainless is the only non corrosive metel most people have access to.
You could try Carbon or maybe carbon fiber could work, but will cost you big and harded to find.
I've also read about people using the graphite from the center of pencils! It supposedly worked just fine.
graphite will work very well, but its difficult to get large amounts of surface area using pencil lead. Large graphite electrodes are pretty expensive. Platinum, graphite, chromium, nickel and carbon all work better than SS, but are incredibly expensive.

What about it? Fairly cheap and very non corrosive. Available in sheets.
