Default Plastic vs. Aluminium

On my old 960 I used the the Eccenter Bearing Alu (903160). Has anyone been using the plastic version of the part without issue? On every car I've seen but Serpent, plastic is used. I'm think of dropping this as a future option part and putting the cash into the aluminum X-bracket instead. Feedback please.

Plus, any comments on laydown vs. upright for the throttle servo. Looking at photos of the top Serpent drivers at the Worlds, laydown seems to be the way to go. The Kyosho M3 (i.e. Evolva 2008) is also going laydown as well. I here it helps with centre of gravity. True? Comments welcome!!
