We used banner sensors for ours and they worked fine. We used four, two per tone wheel, one tone wheel per side. They doubled as encoders for autonomous and gave us the ability to make our robot go anywhere on the field within about an inch. Our design for next year actually uses a shaft encoder right in the gearbox. It'll be in the whitepaper, I posted a picture of the CAD drawing somewhere.
So....just use a shaft encoder.
