I play Nittaku FastArc G1 on my forehand (purchased from IruIru or Paddle Palace). I don't boost or do "weird" things to the rubber. 2 thin coats of Nittaku Fine Zip glue on the sponge, 1 on the blade and that's it. I've bubbled a couple of sheets now (out of probably 20-30 I've burned through in the past few years). My friends bubble Donic and Joola sheets left and right though, so I feel like Nittaku has been pretty good. 

This made me curious, is there any brand that's known for being particularly durable? Or is this just something that happens with all rubber brands?

The most durable rubber for me has been Tenergy 05. No issues at all except for price.

Do you stretch the rubber?  And how long before the bubble appear?  I do not use roller, or stretch the rubber, and have not have bubble issue.  I do have the top sheet crack on some rubbers though.

I do have a roller, but I don't try and stretch it while rolling it. If it does bubble, the bubble will appear at week 3 or 4.

Yeah i have not had a euro/japanese rubber bubble on me after the speed glue era ended, so it is strange.
