They dont get as stiff. When they do get hard to turn you can open them and lube em.
Jandy, hayward, pentair all make good valves. I like hayward best. Look to pay about 40 each, You can find them cheaper at pool wholesellers that are not on amazon. I just bought a case of hayward two ways for 27 each. So shop around.
You will hate the ball valves.
