Well, it's a very small sample, but both of my Apeks valves leaked when they were new, and my SiTechs don't begin to leak until they have a couple hundred dives on them or get full of crud.
 
I've had the opposite experience as TSandM.

I went through two SiTech exhaust valves in a very short time, it started to leak a little. I now have the Apeks High profile on both of my suits. Its been quite a long time since I've replaced a valve (a few years, anyway).
 
Thanks for the responses. Anyone else have experience with both valves? I will give you beer. Please. It's an emergency. I'm befuddled and can't make a decision, or spell correctly.
