We have had the discussion elsewhere on reliability on drivers. The L298
is cheaper, but it does seem more prone to damage when solder splashes
are involved. While I've yet to see the same problem with the 18245
'yet'. It's not just cost, but I was agreeing that potentially the L298
is going to be cheaper. You are seeing much better pricing in the US
against what I'm currently getting in the UK. But the bottom line - I'm
using both chips so we will see which is more 'user friendly' long term :)
