I currently operate a John Deere 4100 and previously a Ford 12 horspower garden tractor. Both have hydrostatic transmissions. What they are good for is creeping around objects when mowing, tilling (very nice), loader work when it is in a confined space, and for operators not familiar to a standard transmission. Like anything else they are very reliable when maintained and operated with respect. If the fluid and filters are maintained it will not give you any problems. However, one should operate it like it was a standard transmission. Come to a stop before changing directions. Take off slow, keep it in the proper range (high or low) for what you are doing, and don't try to move objects it can't really handle for long periods of time. When the brain is shifted into gear first either transmission will give you good service.
