It really comes down to how you treat them. We've used NeveRest motors since they arrived on the scene and gearbox failures aren't an issue. Our team has given these motors death in drivetrains and lift systems but always made an effort to minimize shock loads through control systems.
Okay the 20:1 is a bit weak (we broke 2 last season) and some emit funny noises but they're cheap and don't leak smoke.
Never had an issue with the spiraling spur gears. What on earth are you doing to them!
