A lot of the VCR/ DVD-recorder combos have a TBC to allow the DVD recorder to copy bad tapes to DVD without glitching out and have S-video...My Toshiba IIRC D-VR5 has all that, SQPB and plays all 3 speeds. Also the VCR DVD recorder combos tend to be newer than the regular VCRs so they're less likely to need maintenance.
I will say a pro-grade JVC I bought that does EP too seems to do ever so slightly better than the combos at cleaning up a bad tape.
