As the cassette medium is fading more and more, manufacturers are slowly dwindling the products they offer. Metal tapes are becoming ever increasingly hard to find. A very good and durable cassette is the Maxell XL-II and they are plenteous in supply.
When I learned Maxell was no longer going to make the MX-S, I found a place on-line that still had some and stocked up. When comparing the MX-S and XL-II on a Nak. ZX-9, the MX-S was slightly better. On a side note, the Maxell "S" tapes, XL-IIS and MX-S, do not work well on the Nak CR-7 because of the way it's calibration works. (I don't think these tapes are available anymore though.)
The RX-505 doesn't have any calibration, so I would suggest you purchase a couple different brands of tape and experiment to see which works best on your deck.
I preferred the consistency of the Maxell tapes. The Nak tapes you referred to were made by TDK, so your deck "may" work best with those, although I am sure the tape formulation used when calibrating your deck is no longer used.
As another has mentioned, if you ever send your deck in for service, send your favorite type of tape and have them calibrate the deck for it.
