I would say the Bondtech will be stronger then the UM one.
The Bondtech sits external of the machine. Not an issue for some but can be for others who move there printer around a lot.
You need to adjust the steps as they are different then the UM ones. there are instructions for this but if others want it more seamless then the UM option you just install the + firmware.
I am guessing the UM one is plenty strong enough and haven't seen anyone with issues yet.
Robert also reported that prints are heavier then with the old feeder.
In saying this, People with the Bondtech are also happy with their purchase.
For me the upgrade kit is a good option as you also get a metal fan shroud. Long term i think this is better then the printed ones.
Spring replacement which will be more stable long term then a printed one.
Better PT100 and replacements for those finger slicing clips.

Are you running with the origional feeder or Roberts feeder?
I'm running Roberts feeder with no problems, I'm also running with the Olsson block and a 35W heater.
I only have problems if I haven't cleaned the nozzle properly or I'm running with incorrect settings. The only thing I want to do now to my feeder is fit a hobbed gear to it to better grip the filament.
