Mostly Realtek for now. I rember a faulty chipset in the early days of USB3 causing lots of headaches but wasn't personally affected. No actual USB-3 chipset has let me down so far, however. I am actually doing MIDI over USB with all my synths but one, a 1989 KORG Polysix with MIDI retrofit via DIN. This means I've got four synths and three controllers communicating duplex over the same active USB-3 hub without problems even when sequencing three of them and recording + monitoring the master keyboard simultaneously. No miracle comparing MIDI's very small bandwith and timing requirements with USB-3 specs.
