Currently I have a broken 8 Speed Shimano Alivio RD-M410-L, and want a better one that may not break so often. To replace this Alivio with another Alivio will cost about $40. I have no trouble buying another, better, derailleur for $100.

I mostly free ride and mountain bike. Does anyone have any recommendation for a derailleur that won’t break itself, or my wallet?
