Good Transmission - Which Year?

Did the 4 speed auto transmission (4T60, 4T60E) become any more reliable by any certain year, or do all of them break sometime after 100K miles?

 

89-90 440t4 (before the rename) are historically the most trouble free, even when behind the torquey 3800 in the heavier C bodies. 4l60 aint bad, 4l60E had some teething problems

My '89 440T4 went last fall at around 125K miles. The transmission mechanic did say that these ('88-'91, I think he said) were better than the earlier mid 80's ones. So, I guess the later 90's ones never got any better? The reason I ask is because I may try to get another (mid 90's, W-Body preferably) car so I can do some much needed work on my '89. I'd really hate to get something only to have the transmission go a year later.
