Spin relaxation under identical Dresselhaus and Rashba coupling strengths in GaAs quantum wells is studied in both the traditional collinear statistics, where the energy spectra do not contain the spin-orbit coupling terms, and the helix statistics, where the spin-orbit couplings are included in the energy spectra. We show that there is only marginal difference between the spin relaxation times obtained from these two different statistics. We further show that with the cubic term of the Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling included, the spin relaxation time along the (1,1,0) direction becomes finite, although it is still much longer than that along the other two perpendicular directions. The properties of the spin relaxation along this special direction under varies conditions are studied in detail.
