I went for quiet. Craftsman belt drive with DC motor and battery backup. Also from Chamberlain who makes them for Craftsman. Has a soft close.
The old one had the worn plastic gear and was 18YO.
Then the door spring failed. I weighed the door and had two custom wound springs made up that will last forever. The stock springs are rated for a number of cycles that will be exceeded over time. I did not want to have to deal with that issue again in my life time as I might not be a DIY guy when I in my 90's. Need to renew bearings and rollers as well.
