I hit all of the cut joints with cold galvanizing spray. I also have a few old towers that I regularly touch up with the spray. Some of the 25G models that I've seen aren't galvanized as thick as Nello does it and over time even the tower will rust if you don't touch it up.
Also, nobody is advocating putting unistrut and conduit on a commercial tower. Commercial towers have very specific rules and most require hot dipped galv and data sheets with wind load specs in order to pass the structural. I wouldn't even attempt to get authorization to put unistrut and pipe on a commercial tower. If you can afford the exorbitant rent then you can flip the bill for the real tower mounting hardware.
