When I built mine using barrels it worked out pretty well and is now 5 yrs old. I have had to replace 3 or 4 barrels in this time frame due to rust. For me I just float it to the bank and use the front end loader on my tractor to pick it up enough to slip a barrel out and replace it. So, I would suggest u set it up to be able to replace a barrel or three over time or spend that extra money on floats that do not rust and do something else to the corners. I did not use corner braces and have had no problem so far with the corners. Knock on wood!
