Well I've examined a slightly used CSC ten ways from Sunday, and don't find anything significant but an ORing and a polished sleeve. Anything else is comparable to any other CSC I've seen other places. Sure, some have a metal body but all the metal in the world won't make a diff to that ORing and it's polished metal sleeve. If that ORing gets enough dirt in it it will leak/fail. I don't think plastic has anything to do with it failing unless you're crazy shifting at 7500, and everything gets so hot from the thrust bearing that the ORing deforms, or gets large bits of trash in its path.
My CSC is at 22K and it's a 2009 model.
