I know that there is no buildup on the flapper, or the hole where it seats.
The pull chain isn't snagging and holding up flapper. Why would I get leaks
after a few months?

Anyhow, I'm looking for an alternative for the flapper on my toilets.
Something that will last a good while before needing any kind of repairs.
Any idea on what I could use?

constantly replacing the rubber flappers on ... three

Something is very bizarre here. As someone else mentioned, flappers
usually last years, and I mean *years and years*. I've replaced entire
toilets before I've had flappers go bad.

The fact that you have 3 toilets that are going through flappers every
few months is very strange.

You are not going to like this, but since you said you've been
replacing them on 3 toilets, and you've "tried different suppliers and
grades", there are only 2 common denominators left:

The water...and you.

I'm taking a shot in the dark here, but either you've got some serious
issues with your water that's eating away at these things or you're
installing them wrong.
