I am thinking of using aquasoil when i rescape my tank and I wanted it to last for a 2 years because i wont have time because of exams 🙁
 
Any substrate will 'last longer' in terms of supplying nutrients to the plants by also dosing a good qty. of nutrients via the water column.
 
Malaya does not have very much N or P as you rightly say, but I think perhaps the suggestion that it is better for longer term set ups might be down to its softening effect on water. In the ADA catalogue it suggests Malaya for longer term setups.

Brittleness wise I cant speak for other varieties, but i have had Malaya for nearly two years in an 8 ft tank and it does not seem to have noticably disintegrated. I think the difference is probably small.
