As with any modification or repair, you should be testing to make sure there aren't any leaks after install.
Wrong, I have a friend who lost his engine due to oil leak,
Thing to keep in mind, high performance, boosted engine oil leak (especially those who see track miles) and a old beater car that leaks oil from the head gasket two very different things.. With that said, it still may cause a fire.. If not cause a motor failure..

My point is every aftermarket FI kit will have issues at some point, big or small issues, it's not all red roses.. Saying X kit is flawless plain absurd, even Cosworth had many issues with their SC kit in the past which caused many engine failures..
Another thing, margin of error is Already small with Rotrex based kits(unlike turbo kits or other SC units) and the difference between these two kits are in details(belts, upgrade ability.. Etc) , they both utilize the same exact Centrifugal blower, with different brackets and IC pipe, so saying one is far better from the other is also misleading, and funny
