We use the S4T, they set you back $70 a pop, but are bullet proof. Order directly from US Digital at.

"Bulletproof"? I have always found the S4 series to be pretty fragile, with some of them unexpectedly stopping function on a regular basis.
If you want a bulletproof encoder, you're better better off with a Grayhill or an AMT-103/102. Both of those I have seen take serious abuse without failures.
