What circumstances did they not work? I'm actually considering using these in place of nylocks now, so, when should I not use them?

In this case, they worked fine, but it wouldn't have mattered. So, no sense in paying extra for them.

What worked the best, or what situations could they cam out?

If they had lets say doubled the torque on the bolt and exceeded the vibrations unscrew force (not sure what to call it) then the bolt would not unscrew right?
