Of course it's anecdotal. I don't work in their returns department. It's also relatively easy to shit on SRAM because hardly anyone runs Di2 on MTB in these events. But what other info would you base it on? (FYI: Di2 wire failures are 99.9% installation error and I have two sets of Shimano Death Cranks going strong)
SRAM would be a "better" choice for me because my frame isn't Di2 compatible. But counter to that I know Di2 pretty well and have chargers/spares etc. If I could get all the Di2 gubbins up front, in the steerer or something, then I'd just have a single wire heading to the RD that could be taped under the chainstay.

Anecdotal tho init. My old boss scratched from an ultra when his XT Di2 RD failed spontaneously, he also had 2 di2 batteries fail, as well as several wires in the 2 years I was working with him. Plus 2 cranks that came apart but that's well known about now.
