Best swim brief for Competition.

Hi, I'm a high school swimmer who is going to continue into college. I'm considering purchasing a new swim brief either a speedo fastskin or a speedo aquablade. However, I've read that both deteriorate rather quickly and can only be used 3-4 times max. Is this true? If so I'm not sure I wanna purchase one of those. Are there any other lycra briefs that anyone would recommend? Thanks I have a Speedo Fastskin brief that I've used at 5 or 6 meets over the past 3 years, and it shows no signs of deterioration. When I do wear it, I warm-up in a different suit and change into it just before a race. I'll still warm-down in it. I guess it depends what events you swim. For longer events (beyond a 400m/500 yard), I wear the fastskin brief. Usually for shorter events, I'll wear a jammer.
