There are a lot of factors to cracking a cymbal. The way you play (how hard you hit). If you are a hard hitter I would recommend a slightly thicker weight. i.e. If you are playing heavy rock you probably would want to stay away from thin or light weight cymbals.
Age also is a factor, like anything that you hit with a stick (heads etc) eventually it may develop a crack.
Your idea of a "Med" crash is a good one.
it depends on what type of cymbal it is and what company
