I've had good luck with my return lines, I've had my truck for almost 4 years and the only time I've ever touched the returns was when the IP and injectors were replaced. I've just read too many horror stories, so I go out of my way to make sure I never accidentally touch the returns.Depends on what's leaking - if it's rubber line getting hard or the caps themselves, then yes, but I think most leaks are the o-rings which would be just as likely. It also sounds like maybe you have bad luck with them? I've ever had an issue in ~15 years of driving an idi. Admittedly that with new return lines done, but my take away is they're much less of a problem than they're made out to be as long as you have relatively new and good condition lines.
I'm trying to think of more perks of return rails vs the caps (besides the pimp factor, I say its a perfectly valid excuse but my wallet says nay). Doing the return lines the regular way isnt THAT bad, but you have to cut all the hose sections to size (and it's never right the first time), and make sure you don't mix up the caps. With rails, you just pop them off, replace the O-rings, pop the rails back on, done.
I'm trying REAL hard to justify being the guinea pig for these, I like shiny things
