Found 5 cracks on my 2014 m8000 with around 2,200 hard mountain miles. What primary should I get? I currently have the team tied rapid secondary. Thinking team for my primary with mds weights. Recommendations?

I think the Team primary with MDS weights is a good choice. Most likely what I would do in your situation.

Put a team roller primary clutch on my 2014 with a tied secondary at 1950 miles after my primary was shot. After running it I think the non-roller primary from 2016-2017 would be the way to go. No huge performance advantage with the roller over what I was running, and it's got a really low engagement that I don't think works as well with the Suzuki. The roller clutches don't seem to be lasting as long either. I'm on my second one now.

Well I ordered a team with the roller? plus a light weight zrp cover and dalton weights. This will match my secondary.

Id second the '17 team suggestion. Work good on the zuke, engagement is plenty low and smooth. Im not sure if its a diffeent part number from 16 to 17 or 18/19 to 20/21, but I would seek a 17 specifically or 20 and up on the roller clutch if possible. little tweaks were made I believe.
Another option would be the pb80 like the syxxes youtuber put on. looks decent. Only advantage of a roller clutch is if youre gonna run a tight belt and do away with the deflection adjustment.
