How are today's off the shelf airosft mosfets in terms of reliability and failure mode?

The first and last time I tried using a mosfet a couple of years ago, it fried after less than a couple dozen shots over the course of two days. It failed closed, so the aeg wouldn't stop firing on full auto until I unplugged the battery. Freaked out my wife too.

I'm thinking about trying a mosfet again, but don't want it to fail and get stuck on full auto. Especially if using a Lipo in a sealed up buffer tube that's cumbersome to get to.
