To be honest, after the software issues were resolved in vs. 1.1, I 
have hardly heard any hardware related problems.  Sure, every company 
puts out a bad unit every now and then.  Search the archives about 
the Echoplex Digital Pro.  I've seen tons of hardware and software 
issues, but I'm sure they're the exception, not the rule.  I'd buy on 
what features I wanted, not on which unit will be more reliable.  I 
think they're both great pieces of gear as far as that goes.  If 
you're really worried, buy it locally and make them get you a unit 
and take it out of the box and plug it in before you take it home. 
I've done that at the Guitar Center, as they suck.
