I have a good amount of experience with powder coating on motorcycles and I can tell you it is most definitely tougher than sprayed paint.
Where you have to be careful is this:
1) Depending on the current surface the part will likely be bead blasted.
2) All screw holes should have throw away bolts threaded into them. Not all the way down - enough to protect the threads but not disturb the finish around the bolt.
Be very clear about what areas are and what are not to be powder coated (I used Scotch Blue painters tape).
Whenever I have the option I will always choose powder over spray.
