I tried using contactors but they blew and had to be replaced.

Subject: [LML] Contactors vs Solid State Relays
I am doing the wiring of my Legacy and would like the group's advice on the use of Solid State Relays like SSRDC50V80A Relay Datasheet
or a traditional mechanical contractor like a Cole Hershee 24115.
They are about the same cost, and handle the same load but are there other reasons why I haven't seen the SSRs used. I am using the Vertical Power VP-X which makes extensive use of Solid State Relays so I wonder if their time has come and I should design the power distribution with SSRs?
