More newbie questions

Ok, now I'm into analysis paralysis:

Understand the gearbox issue- not sure what Toro has a a gearbox- anyone?

Impeller size: Ariens 14" versus Simplicity 12"-Impact?

Impeller blades: Ariens 3 versus Simplicity 4; Impact?

Toro: No shear pins- don't understand how they can do that? obviously not an engineer?

Tecumseh versus B & S: Sounds like a tossup- more torque on B &S, less noise?

Snowblower Gearboxes: Cast Iron versus Aluminum versus other?

Okay,

I'm not technically inclined(I'm all thumbs) so someone please help with this topic

Simplicity and Ariens pro talk about cast iron gearboxes, Ariens deluxe has aluminum.

Not sure what craftsman, Toro etc have

I'm assuming iron stronger than aluminum, but is this a real cause for concern/ analysis paralysis? or marketing

I'm looking primarily as size, power, turning help, features, not sure where gearboxes should fit into my analysis

Thanks,
