I like the Robinson aluminum "silent" pinions. They are only like $1-$2 more than standard ones.

I am confused as to why you would need to toss pinions and/or spurs away after so few runs ? If you mesh properly, have your gears covered, and inspect them each day you run and clean with an exacto blade or ultra fine sandpaper (if need be), they should last a very long time.
