But I do want to know about this possibility of breakage so I can avoid it.

As for preference, I prefer the 1/48s although I don't own a 1/60 so my preference is biased.

I just love the sheer size of the 1/48s. It's pretty much transformable art for me.

Essentially, it works like this:

(Important note: TREAT THIS LIKE ONE OF THOSE "READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END" EXCERCIZES YOU GOT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. DO NOT ACTUALLY DO ANY OF THESE HYPOTHETICAL ACTIONS BELOW.)

When you transform the figure's backpack, it may seem a little floppy, like it's not locked in all the way (this is because you haven't pushed in the upper back area for the backpack flip hook to lock into; it sinks in towards the head. If you know to do this, then you will never have this problem, and will be happy). You will then look at the design of the hinge and think to yourself "well, that looks like it should be perpendicular to the ground, not angled down like that", at which point you will assume that to lock the backpack all the way it should be pushed up to pop it in place. You will do this, then look in horror as the backpack comes away in your hand, the hinge snapped and unrepairable.

There will be much snarling and gnashing of teeth to follow.
