I would say the moral of the story is caveat emptor, do research and sometimes just go ahead and try things. I'm counting having tried out JG springs as all of those. If everyone just keeps buying the most expensive stuff there is, we'll never discover the inexpensive gems. Also, it's sometimes difficult or nearly impossible for a noob like myself to extract super detailed and up-to-date information like spring reliability out of a forum like this, so if it's up to people like me to go out there and try things, so be it
. I'm willing.
So in the end, I would say B and C but not A, and not even B sometimes.
By the way...
SHS parts are made in China, are very cheap, and surely that means they're evil right? But at the same time, SHS is just King Arms, which we know is quite good. King arms gear sets are literally rebranded SHS gears, and people all over the net (ASM, ASR, Arnie's, etc) swear by those and run them in setups which are far more strenuous than ours (>400fps, 30rps, etc). So there are many many exceptions to the above lettered rules, and I would personally not paint an entire country with one brush.. They can make microchips, solar panels and 9 gigawatt dams, I'm sure *some* of them can handle piano wire and small plastic parts.
Just sayin'
