I think you're trying to compare apples to oranges. You have to take each one on its own merits. There are so many variables from make to make that it's impossible to make specific comparisons.
A good example is the TA's in Farmalls, at least through the 86 series.

Obviously, for anything but a Farmall, this isn't even a consideration.
Even with things that do the same thing, like brakes and steering, there are so many different designs it's hard to compare.
How the unit was used and maintained is also a BIG factor.
Like I said, you just about have to take each one on its own merits.
