I used an MS Ergonomic for 10+ years at the office and a Kinesis Advantage for a similar amount of time at my home office. I'm now entirely home-based, and plan to use the Kinesis Advantage until it's no longer an option.
I'm on my second Kinesis. Something about the function key connection (they're on separate boards internally) made them start failing intermittently after 3-4 years. After the third failure Kinesis had discontinued the replacement parts and I replaced the whole keyboard with a newer revision that has redesigned function keys which are going strong so far.
Kinesis supports key remapping if that's a thing you need.
