Good Tracking and Easy to Use
Excellent for general needs. Using them on telescopes.They are not high-performance PPR but they track very well (no missed pulses).With Gear Ratio of 4:1 and quadrature, the resulting resolution is 0.25 deg.No resistor pull-up/pull-down needed for Arduino and/or Atmel chips. I do recommend interrupts for fast response.

Works well
The optical shaft encoders work great for programming your robot for autonomous mode. They are super easy to use. Do note that each unit requires 2 ports on the microcontroller unless you want to write code to read input with only one cable (you will lose the ability to determine direction however)

It's incredibly inexpensive. I didn't use it for the intended line of products so the plastic got marred quite easily. There are some overhanging chips but they were easily broken off by using a metal shaft.

Nice, easy to use encoder
I didn't use these with other VEX components but they worked fine for my purpose. Easy to connect with the three pin connectors.
