Best z-wave "two-wire" switch

Hey all,
Long time Indigo guy here, using Insteon for most of my wall switches.

Alas, my "2-wire" Insteon switches (e.g. no neutral wire needed) have a 50% failure rate at two years, and I hear zwave switches are more reliable.

Question:
1) ARE zwave switches more reliable?
2) Are there any recommended zwave switches that don't require a neutral wire (that aren't special finds on eBay)? I know you can connect the neutral wire from some switches to the the load, though this isn't code, and it can be problematic in other ways.

Thanks!

The Fibaro dimmer is the only one I've used; being a dimmer it is able to let a tiny amount of current through even when 'off' which allows it to get its own power, but not enough to light the bulb its connected to.
