R22 Refrigerant Replacement for Chillers 2 Years ago

Hi!
I am interested in what replacement for R22 you guys are using for chillers if any. Personally i would rather change the chiller but here some engineers are pushing Dupont M029 AND M099 as the preferred refrigerant replacement.
However the problems encountered with both refrigerants have usually meant repeated visits due to numerous leaks and poor oil return and higher temperature glide when operated below 8 degrees C leaving water temperature. Problems were only mentioned by Dupont reps after we reported back to them about our problems,
So if you have any thoughts good or bad or any information regarding what sort of problems you have had and were they eventually overcome would be appreciated. Both the refrigerants have been used on Carrier Chillers.
