Ball Shifter Vs. Dog Shifter?

This year we have decided to go with Vexpro Gearboxes, in particular the 3 CIM Ball shifter and the WCP DS Gearbox. Our reasons for choosing these are obviously based on the dual speed capabilities. We looked around and the only things we found were people who said that the Ball Shifter was less reliable than the Dog Shifters. We were also concerned with the openness of the Dog Shifter and feared that it would allow things like dirt and carpet material to interfere with our gears.

If you could please provide us your experiences with these types of gear shifting options and your recommendation our team would be very grateful!

Thank you!
