Is this a consensus opinion? I've only ever used Duco for motor sticks/bracing. It might explain some of the bending I saw down at USIC.

Don't use Duco to hold motor stick bracing wire! It is subject to creep failure in that it yields under a continuous load. The result is that the bracing comes loose during a flight if Duco used to hold the wire ends eg at the front. Ambroid gives a stiffer and probably stronger joint.
