I have both dial and e-lock and no issues with either kind the last 10-12 years. I do like the ease of getting into the e-lock.
That said, I am sure both can wear out dependent on the amount of use.
My local sporting goods dealer has had to replace 2 dial locks on his safe ( guessing in about a 15 year span).
But he opens his safe 6 days a week.
I think it will be personal preference that decides which one.
