which type of parts I should use to directly connect with CI baseboard, cast brass, copper, galvanized, or black steel? I am thinking it may make difference because of the different expansion rate.

No matter where you make a transition, there will still be different expansion rates.

I'm replacing all the fin tube on the first floor of my house with CI baseboard this summer. I'll be connecting the copper directly to the rads. Bleeders will be installed on the upper connection on one side of each section.
