Those cable-drive regulators started showing up a lot in the late 90s and I guess most everyone uses them now. Lighter weight and maybe their cheaper to make. Notorious for self-destructing, though some brands hold up better than others. I used to save the good motors when I replaced a hole assembly but found that I hardly ever had a regulator outlast a motor. One time I installed an aftermarket regulator and a year or so later the motor failed. That's when I discovered that the manufacturer used a different style gear and the OEM motor wouldn't fit. They didn't sell their motor separate so we had to replace the whole works again! I'd say as far as longevity the best you can do is keep things lubed up.
