There are many brands of stabilizers. I have Naiad model 252. I have heard of very few issues from Naiad users. Occasionally you will hear about a stabilizer locking up in full dive mode. This is usually do to a failed seal, usually a twenty year old seal. Getting a stabilizer unstuck and back to neutral can be a challenge, most don’t try. They limp into port and let the professionals deal with it. If you buy a boat with stabilizers and you don’t know when the seals were last replaced then you should assume the worst and get it back on the 10 year schedule.
