I personally don't think they are necessary for most applications.  If you do decide to go with one, do yourself a favor and get the quiet version.  Even the quiet gear drives can be a bit noisy.  The noisy ones are really quite annoying. :2cents:

with high valve spring loads the gear drive will not stretch like a chain & will keep the cam in position more accuratly but for 90% of street engines they are not needed
