I personally would NEVER even consider using a typical Radio Shack type rotator and would always go with a bell shaped rotator or similar.They are build to handle bigger antennas and carry the weight more in a straight line rather than offset like the RS rotators. Then again I probably would never bother to install an antenna small enough to even consider an RS rotator. :laugh:  I know someone will pipe up and say they had X antenna up for Y years without an issue but they are lucky. Hundreds of failures and a few good (lucky) installs does not mean they were right.The rotators I have used in the past have been Hygain CD-44, Ham II and at present a Yaesu G-2800DXA waiting to go up.
