The life of a stroker motor depends mainly on the rod to piston angle. The larger the stroker, the worse that angle is, there lies the possibility of piston skirt drag. It also can hammer your crank pretty bad with the increase in that angle. Like most motors, how well it's built and how bad you hammer on it weighs in a great deal. Basically the larger the stroke, the easier they are to eat themselves.
