For me, ones that break are preferable to ones that don't. There's a thread on ctc (actually about the safety release clips) where people recount their experiences if being thrown from their bikes by sticks getting tangled in mudguards. Doesn't mean I'm right, but I'd rather not take the risk. I have Salmons on a bike but I'm not that keen on metal any more.
I stand corrected on Steel.
They rattle though.
