We did a gearbox with delrin plates, and the gears wore about twice as quickly as our aluminum boxes.

Also, assembling the box with the motor bolts is quite doable, but makes assembling a bit of a hand gymnastics exercise.

Edit: A bit of a suggestion: If you can recess the standoffs to allow the box to 'snap' together, it makes assembly much easier, and makes aligning parts much quicker.
