For larger bridge cracks and repairs I prefer epoxy.  It is better at
gap filling, cures harder and has better adhesion properties.  I prefer
CA glue for securing loose bridge pins or when the cracks are hairline
and you need wicking properties.  I wouldn't expect either to fail if
you didn't use the material beyond what it was designed for.  CA glue on
loose tuning pins is hard to predict since the pin is being moved
periodically, however, I have used this repair on several occasions and
have not had a problem even after several years.

These questions should make for some interesting discussion:
 
1) who likes to use CA glue instead of Epoxy for cracked bridges, and
why?
 
2) How long is a cracked bridge repair using CA glue expected to last?
 
3) How long is a loose tuning pin repair using CA glue expected to last?
