I've got an '07 Rubicon, it's pretty good. Plow the driveway with it, it's geared plenty low enough for that, although the 27" tires on it are too big for it - previous owner installed them and i've been too cheap to shrink 'em. Only trouble i've had was the angle sensor that works in concert with the shift control motor. Cost a few bucks to replace, but hopefully I get another 12 years out of the machine.
My buddy has a Yamaha 450 kodiak that has been pretty dang reliable as well, he lost one axle seal, but it was an easy replacement and back to running shape in no time.
I'd buy either one again. They've both been in the ATV and motorcycle game forever. I've ridden his Kodiak and it feels "tiny" compared to my giant tank of a Rubicon.
