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.
We have our first ones still functioning on our 2014 bot Turbo, and haven't had a failure yet. . . Prior to that we used the AM http://www.andymark.com/E4T-OEM-Mini...-p/am-3132.htm

and had issues with the students assembling.

We have never used Grayhill, so maybe they are even better, YMMV?
