I have been using SLR (Tandberg) for a couple of years without problem. Working in difficult conditions (high humidity, lot of dust) I find linear reccording (SLR, DLT) better than helicoidal reccording: less density on the tape (more fault tolerant), much much simpler mechanic (less moving parts that could tear off).
