Shimano trigger shifters are probably some of the most reliable pieces of kit in the world. I’ve got some 20+ year old XT shifters that still work excellently. Depending on a few things you might need to open them up and lube/grease (or spray gt85 and wet lube through the cable entry hole) them every 10 years or so but yeah, that’s an easy job and I’ve never seen a rapid fire fail.

I think I’ll look out for some xt stuff then. Do the left hand shifters have incremental shift or are they indexed for triple?

I think they come in either double or triple.

Not sure if the spacing is the same between double and triple chainrings. If someone can confirm, you can use a triple shifter and set the derailleur limit screw so it can't pull to the third position.
