Most Aerospace applications by default require high strength to weight ratio. You need the strength obtained by heat treating, and usually other treatments for hardening. This requires the final precision after hardening which can only be done by grinding. Super finish refers to additional polishing beyond that, to a mirror like finish. Does not matter if spur or Helical for that purpose - but that opens up numerous additional design constraints.
