Default Progressive Nitrous controller question

What solenoids hold up best to the pounding of progressive controller rapid opening and closing?

Are any companies claiming to have designed a solenoid that stands up better than average?

Not really sure if there is such a solenoid or a company that sells something like that. I know it's REALLY hard on a solenoid, so probably your best bet for maintenance is to just take them off every so often and have them rebuilt which I'm sure a good company that backs their stuff will have no problem doing.
