How durable were the gearboxes themselves? I know a lot of robots use drill motors, so I thought these would be a free alternative.
If you mount them rigidly and your shafts are aligned well (or you use something like that lovejoy flex coupling as can be seen on the 2002 drill motor) you should be fine.

Most problems that I'm aware of were due to poor mounting methods.
