Default Cutting gears?

The parameters for teeth are many and its a bit of a minefield. Most gears
these days seem to be made of a crappy form of Nylon and lose teeth. If they
are to be custom made, say for fixing a curtain closer etc, then it might
be good to get them made from something more robust.
Or are you refurbishing an Aerial Rotator?

What's the favoured approach to getting hold of gears,
to cut them yourself, or to buy from, say, HPC gears?
