I know that some later models were more reliable, but I don't they ever actually got what one would call good until they came out with the shiny console. I remember buying a spare on the second hand market and going by the manufacture date to determine what was inside and how reliable it was going to be.
I actually had good luck that way. I ended up buying something like 5 360's to one PS3, but like others have said I played much more of my 360. I did play the 360 in two locations compared to my PS3 which I only used extremely occasionally and only for exclusives.

The Jasper motherboard fixed the RROD. Think it dropped their failure rate down to like 4%. And those failures were mostly the optical drive.
They did change how the error messages were shown but the issue that caused RROD was more or less eliminated after the hardware change.
