I've replaced all of the OEM kits in our toilets with the FluidMaster kits after about seven or so years (or about the age of the house). After that, I too noticed leaks and other issues within two or three years after installing the FMs.

Some of it can be rectified with float adjustments, or an errant hose that worked itself loose, but mostly, the rubber seals in those kits deteriorate a lot faster than the original manufacturer setups. So prepare to do frequent R&R on the flappers and valve mechanisms...sucks!
