VersaWheel vs Traction wheels

Hello FRC community

As we are on the verge of the 2014 FRC season, I have a question for everyone. I been looking at the versawheel from vexpro and been wondering, what would yall recommend. We have been using Traction wheels since 2011, and the bad thing about them is when the wheel thread wears out you have to go and replace the thread or the wheel if you have spares with you. Now I was wondering how did the versawheel handle the abuse of multiple regionals and State/World Championships and off season events. Did the wheels last or did any of them fail.
what would everyone recommend?
