Default RE: Nylon or metal clevis - which is best?

I had to disconect the nylon elevator clevis in order to repair a tail wheel once and was astonished to see the clevis pin worn thin as a hair. Next flight would probably have ment no elevator control. I switched all my planes from nylon to metal and have never again used a nylon clevis.
