I've 3 cars with EPS and 1 car with hydraulic power steering.

Most problem i had was with the hydraulic one.... steering rack needed repairs, i refurbish it... power steering pump serviced once... and after leaking again, replaced it.
EPS only 1 car had a minor issue, reduced power assist, steering just a bit heavier, never bothered to replace it... just live with it.
Overall i prefer EPS over hydraulic. Simpler and less problems.

Car age
- 1st EPS car : 4 years (accident and total loss)
- 2nd EPS car : 17 years (sold off in 2021, new owner i think still happy with it)
- 3rd EPS car : 10 years (still driving it)
- 1st hydraulic car : 13 years (still driving it)
