Default Electric Drive System Info

What's the basis of using, or not using, a motor with a gearbox? I imagine a gearbox allows a motor to run at a more efficient speed but then that would have to be balanced against the additional frictional losses in the gearbox itself. I never have been able to find any detailed info to be able to compare an inrunner/gbx vs. a low Kv outrunner.
