Im gonna say that the parts in the rebuild are only part of the equation. I think the most important part is the installation of the products. The engine builder can make or break a rebuild. Then, I also think a proper breakin/tune is another key factor. The parts used in the rebuild are just iceing on the cake in my opinion...Just as long as they arent straight ****. You know what I mean though.
Also, If you just dont beat on your car 24/7, and you do routein maintainence it should be pretty reliable. The closer to stock the better reliability these cars seem to have. Its only when you start throwing lots of boost and whatnot they start to get fussy. Just opinion.
