The wear on the effector and rods mainly depends on the acceleration values. Since you accept to print slow, you can try direct drive.
I'm building one right now and find it difficult to use the whole width of my bed, because the pancake/cycloid gear extruder collides with the rods at some points.

My delta has 1m high verticals and 300mm build diameter, so I guess it is about the same size as your build. I use a Bowden extruder with the extruder drive mounted about half way up one of the verticals. The Bowden tube is 650mm long, which isn't ideal but I find it manageable.Retraction is about 6mm to avoid blobs. Using extruder pressure advance in the firmware helps with print quality. See link in my signature for more details of my build.
Another option you haven't mentioned (and I haven't tried yet) is a flying extruder.

Have you been able to print with yours?

Yes, it prints well, but I'm still testing how I can retract faster. The output shaft started slipping until I got milled an aluminum dowel pin holder.
Now I'm at 60mm/s retraction and still testing...
Also I had to reduce the outer radius of the bed levelling gcode to avoid rod-collision with the stepper at certain points..
