Just 'cause I've never contributed to this group before...

	I wouldn't use a scroll of genocide on rust monsters.  Two
reasons:

	1. It's too rare and good to waste on wimpy monsters like
	   rust monsters.  Use it on something nastier.

	2. Rust monsters are worth better than average experience points
	   for moderately early monsters, and they're easy ones at that.
	   If you genocide them, you don't get the chance to collect.

Use the leather armor (non-rustable) on the early levels and hope for a
protect armor for your better suits before you get too deep.
