How do I avoid creep?

My 10 month old MK2S is exhibiting creep failures on some parts both custom and original Prusa printed in Orange ABS. Specifically, X-carriage belt retainer tabs and Y-motor mount. In future and for my 2.5 part prints, I will be using PETG (ColorFabb HT).

Have you guys had issues with creep on load bearing ABS prints? Is PETG a better choice. Is PC any better in the case of long duration loads, dynamic and sustained with 40~50°C environments?
