The 9250 will not last forever in a tail rotor application. The gears do wear over time, but it should work for quite a while. I had one last at least a year with weekend flying. when I replaced the gyro with a 601, the 9250 servo was still working OK.
I'll probably put it into a plane.
The gear set for the 9250 is quite expensive, so you'd be ahead the first time you broke the gears if you go for the 9253.
