There is no best known brand of stainless steel wok. The only factor in buying a good wok is that it should be a carbon steel wok that will conduct the heat evenly.
What grade of carbon steel do they use to make woks?
A carbon steel wok, once it is seasoned, requires very little maintenance. A quick swish in hot soapy water is all that is required to clean it. Stainless steel woks never acquire this "seasoning" and so tend to stick when cooking.
The carbon steel cooking components are better performers under high heat, and result in less items sticking. Stainless steel cookware, while it will not rust or stain as per the name, radiates heat more direct through the material. A professional chef using a wok correctly, generally uses very high heat, and is looking to reduce foods rather than burn them.
No. Teflon takes the place of the seasoning process for steel or iron woks.
I would not recommend it, however, if you know a welder or mechanic you have the cast iron cleaned in their vat that they use to clean their parts in.. go figure but it woks, I used to have my done by a friend in his shop.

Electric woks are better than traditional ones in some respects. For one, they do not take up space on your stove so you can cook other things. They are also easier to clean up because they sit on the counter and not the stove. The only disadvantage is that electric woks don't get as hot as traditional woks.
