I need to replace my middle ring as chain and cassette are on their way out. Does anyone else make a ring to match the middleburn hardcoat ones for durability?

I once tried a set of Middleburn slick shift hardcoat rings, full set with new PC-991 chain and new XT cassette. Things sucked from day one. That bad I actually got a refund on them as they were unridable.
I had good results with TA many moons ago and will be moving back to them once the standard rings are dead.
I've found Race Face to be great myself

Found slick shift hardcoats ok myself but didn't notice any extra life over the previous FSA set, on a set of raceface now which seem slicker on upshifts but not much in it!
My raceface shift well but I don't think they've worn well at all.
