I disagree about the maintenance issues with tin/copper solder. All high tin content solders are hard on machines (silver or not). More dross? Controlling the back flow, front flow velocity and AVOID constant surface cleaning will reduce your dros

You don't mention the board surface finish, but BGA's on NiAu are prone to brittle fracture in the Sn-Ni intermetallic on the board side of the joint. You may not be able to see it visually, but it would show up in a cross-section. In-circuit test
