It took about a year for me to strip gears in my JX brand servos, the number one reason why I switched to SRT was because finding replacement gear sets for JX servos was extremely difficult. Not saying that I expect SRT gears to strip, but what sold me was that DialedHobbies carries replacement gear sets for the SRT servos they sell. Earlier, Gene cautioned that folks should run slower servos in 1/8 cars to prevent stripping gears, and as a bonus I've found that running a slower servo has significantly improved my consistency as well.

As far as warranty goes (regardless of brand) chances are you'll only have a legitimate claim if it's DOA out of the box, if you cause any damage later on, then more than likely it was from abuse not covered under most manufacturer warranties. I learned this the hard way with Savox many years ago, also learned they have no service repair center for damages outside warranty, of which their pricing is not reflected properly for this lack in level of service.
