Well...it just goes to show that there must have been other factors involved with your XL1s and not just JVC products.
I used JVC tapes in my old XL1s for many hundreds of hours in very rough conditions in all weathers worldwide. As also mentioned I've used the JVC tapes in two seperate XL2 bodies for many hundreds of hours in very adverse weather conditions and in many countries worldwide without major problems.
In fact I've just returned from a 3-month expedition in Africa where the XL2 & JVC tapes were used & abused every day, above and below the waterline...without a hiccup.
Without a doubt, in my mind anyway, it doesn't really matter which of the major brand tapes you use, as long as they are dry tapes and you stick to the same brand throughout your filming.
