I would recommend going with gears from Martin Sprocket and Gear over those from Boston Gear. The Martin gears are case hardened and will wear better with heavy use. You can find their catalog here http://www.martinsprocket.com/docs/d....pdf?sfvrsn=14 and look up the part numbers at any number of suppliers to find the gears to buy.
I'd worry that case hardened gears would be hard to broach, however. Some teams have used non-hardened gears and then hardened them themselves afterwards.
