The quality on VEX sensors is great actually...if used properly. The only ones I've have problems with are the bumper switches. Depending on the application they last as long as you want. We also get a discount because of our robotics classes, so the price thing isn't applicable to most teams.
I've tested limit switches on lifts before (frc) and they've worked well. The function was that when the lift hit the limit switch coming down it would trigger a shooter for the home made game we were playing.
Btw RC, you could've just continued in your original thread...
