Buy the right bit for the job. If you need milling bits, buy a milling bit.

I have yet to have a router bit break on me. Either with my full size plunge, table mounted or the little Bosch Colt I have.
I will say I am a slow and steady wins the race kinda woodworker.

There's another issue that is far more likely with cheap bits. They typically leave a poor surface and often even leave burn marks. That means your few seconds of router time per linear foot becomes minutes of sanding per linear foot. That is the main reason I'd run away from ANY of the router bits sold on Amazon. Given their record of selling counterfeits, it's not worth my precious shop time to mess around with cheap bits. Maybe if you are retired on a fixed income and have an endless supply of decent sandpaper. . .nah, still not worth it.
Seriously, sandpaper really isn't that cheap. You won't save money buying cheap bits. My favorites are Freud, Diablo, CMT, and Rockler. I've been able to find those brands cheap enough in most cases, and they work fantastic.
