In my experience, rotational sensors are accurate to within +/-5%.  100% accurate sensors would
be great, but 95% accurate sensors are still very useful.  You can compensate for the inaccuracy
in various ways, e.g. in the software.  IMHO, this is no reason to be disappointed or not to use them.
YMMV (literally).

Rotation sensors will lose counts randomly in spite of the firmware.

I'll back that! It's totally hit-and-miss. I've done several tests on
different gearings (some running the thing off a micromotor...) and no
matter what, they *always* loose count. I'm really dissapointed with them,
and I've hardly used them for this exact reason. :(
