If you have a contiguos cooperation with your board supplier, i.e. frequent visits to an inspections at their plant, I think you will not see much ENIG problems. It's very much about good process continuity. I've said it before: we have assembled millions of ENIG board without problems. We had some issues many years ago, learned about the process and set up a cooperation model. If ENIG was that bad, we had changed to something else, but it wasn't necessary.

Anybody out there experiencing mass dewetting issues from North American board shops?
 
From what I understand primary causes for dewetting (assuming the reflow/wave profile is bang on) is all on the board, ie nickel corrosion, degeneration of the nickel, or outgassing of the nickel/copper.  (I'm talking enig here.)
 
Anybody?
