There are many factors that contribute to wheel hub failure. I wouldn't write off all plastic wheels because you had failures with the AM Pneumatic wheel hubs.
The great thing about a WCD is that it's so easy to swap wheels. You mentioned in the last thread that you drove the pants off the wheels until they failed (which is an absolutely great way to test things). If you have the budget and the time, I'd finish your custom wheel + WCD project and grab a bunch of the various common FRC wheels (Colsons, AM Hi-Grips, VEX Traction, your custom wheels will probably end up being similar enough to AM Performance wheels) and drive the pants off of all of them.
