My main question is does gas vaporize sooner in copper than steel?
Yes

Material Thermal conductivity

(W/m K)*
Silver 406.0
Copper 385.0
Brass 109.0
Aluminum 205.0
Steel ... 50.2

As you can see,copper conducts heat very well above steel.
If you want heat in the fuel then use copper.
If not, then stick to steel.

Head added to the fuel will increase the likelyhood of vapor lock
