Both can and have been broken. Arb can lose it's air seals, and will unlock if the line loses pressure. Electric can have actuator problems but will not unlock if the wires are broken and can be manually engaged/disengaged. Electric has position sensing switches that can give you positive feedback of it's status, ARB does not.

ARB is a carrier replacement, Electric is a third member replacement which requires irreversible modifications to the axle housing.

My vote goes to electric.
