Recomended Cots gear boxes

We are trying to select a gear box for the robot. We used the JVN design calc with 4 CIMs (1 per gear box) with 8” wheels. We want to be able to push folks around so a gear ratio between 14:1 and 16:1 looks good.

We are looking at the tough box with the optional 12 tooth gear to get 14.88:1. http://www.andymark.com/ProductDetai...Code=am%2D0145

We are also looking at a banebot P80 with a 16:1 ratio.

Are these any good?

Are there any other gear boxes we should be looking at?

Thanks for the help.
