Small semi-pro studios more often use something like a Soundcraft Delta with Alps faders. The long and the short of it, more people, in particular the amateurs and semi-pros tend to use gear with Alps faders. P+G are three times more expensive than Alps. Alps audio taper is very good. The only bad Alps faders I ever used (and still use) are seemingly substandard goods used by a Behringer mixer, this mixer cost around the price some Studer fader units do cost, but even those bad Alps faders just feel not good when fading, the Audio taper is ok. IOW regarding to the taper it doesn't matter if you're using P&G or Alps. All those faders use a similar kind of log.
