All guys have to do is start measuring their crankpins, they will see right away which brands of fuel protect, and which brands do not......I have been tracking worn cranks for 2 seasons now, there is a definite relationship to the fuel being used and the rate of wear of the internals, anyways its always the same two brands at the source of the trouble.....
In the end I have not seen a single worn crankpin on either Bones or Werks ..these other fuels with less then 11% oil are a lost cause if you have any concern about protecting your engine ..
i have seen the same things happen with the brands that you favor also (busted rods anyway)
i prefer a certain fuel and recommend a certain fuel , especially for run in period
lubrication is a very tricky thing with these engines , most manufacturers are tailoring their oil pkgs to performance over engine longevity , guys want "fast" engines , you of all people should know that
there is a downside to a fuel with less oil and internal wear is it
