54 Gear start vs not

I understand the later '54s with Gear start had some of the issues of the later Twin Ultra... is it desirable to find an earlier '54 to avoid the problems or are the weaknesses of the GS fairly simple to deal with? At about what time did the switch to the GS occur during the model year? Maybe a thread on this here already? ... looked but didn't see one.
