I took my '13 BRZ to the dealership I bought it from for the recall, and have since clocked an extra 40k miles, no issues related to the fix that I can tell. They service a lot of modified Subarus and I suspect they have techs that would know how carefully the RTV should be applied. I don't imagine Toyota techs have that same experience/knowledge in general.
Anyway, just wanted to add my thoughts. I'm probably repeating someone else.

When you consider the vast difference in numbers between how many FRS were sold vs how many BRZs the Toyota techs may well have MORE experience than the Subaru ones when it comes to the recall work. Keep in mind that the FA20 engine was rather different than the rest of the engines in the recall so being a Subie tech would have little advantage when it comes to the failure mode. If proper time and care was taken either group would have exactly the same chance at success.
