We used the BB encoders and divider cards without problems... well, at least without problems we couldn't fix... last year.

There is a little allowance for shaft runout... last year with the BB trannies we had some runout issues, and the metal encoder disc ended up grinding down the sensors on one encoder. It had to be replaced. The blame for that lies more with the tranny and us than it does with the encoder.

We did not have any problems super-gluing the encoders to the shafts... just make sure they are on square, or the room you have to deal with run out gets eaten up quickly.

The divider cards worked great and really took a load off the programmers and processor.

That said, we're using gear tooth sensors this year. Or at least we're planning on it... that part of the code isn't implemented yet.
