I like the idea of bronze since it will last forever. But, I don't think it works as well as a rubber type material. The rubber will deform to fit the door exactly. This creates a great seal so you don't have air infiltration. The bronze isn't as flexible, and if there are any irregularities in the door you'll have leakage. Rubber type materials also conduct heat much slower than bronze.
