Default best year 4r70w?

Hey guys looking for a little guidance here, I have a fox that i am putting an 04 terminator engine into
I am ditching the 6 speed in favor of an auto, and want to keep the overdrive so looking at the 4r70w's, and the possible 4r75w transmissions

For the 4r70w's what years should i look at? and which ones should i stay away from? i know the early years were pretty bad as far as holding power?

Any information would be greatly appreciated

www.tccoa.com has a wealth of info on the 4R70W as "Jerry W" was one of the designers of that tranny (and also started SCT). Basically the newer the better.
