Are some hoyas buggier than others?

It seems like a lot of people have problems with mealybugs on Hindu Rope hoya since the crinkly leaves let the bugs hide easily. Do you feel like there are other species of Hoya that seem to be more attractive to bugs than average?

What are your favorite techniques to try to prevent bugs from getting into the collection?
I mix some Neem oil into the water sometimes when I water because I have read it can have some systemic effect when watered in, but not sure how helpful that actually is.
