Finally something I know a little about (I grew up in the business. :))

Hydrogen presents a fire risk.  Helium is ideal, but very expensive and more
subject to leak loss.

I know you were just kidding, but it's rare a topic comes up that I actually
know something about.  My father ran a welding supply store for 50+ years
and I worked there for 10+.  We would have loved nothing more that a sudden
rush on inert gas sales :)

I say, "USE Hydrogen or Helium".  It reduces the unsprung weight!  :)
