Best brand of spouts?

[KenWP]

I'd like to know if this is true as well. I'm looking to buy new spouts tomorrow and I'd rather spend the extra $$ on metal than to have to throw away the plastic at the end of a season. What's the life expectancy of the plastic spouts?

Also, seems to me that in a 'natural' business/hobby such as this they would make the spouts out of recyclable plastic. The few that I have seen don't have a number on them. Anyone have spouts with the recycle symbol on them?

I am looking at a stubbie right now and it has a 3 stamped on the side. All it has for a maker is a maple leaf. I would have to say they are PCV most likley.
