WB also supports linking to the very latest version. If the archive is updated frequently enough I would say it is reasonable to link to that if you use WB just as a mirror. In some cases I've seen error pages being archived after the original page has been moved or removed though but that is probably just a technical issue caused by some website misconfiguration or bad error handling.
