RROD hasn't really been much of a thing since the older fat models. If you have a slim Xbox 360 you're basically golden.
Corona, Jasper, and Trinity boards are widely considered the most reliable revisions. This coveres late fat and all slim models produced from ~2008 up to 2013. The "E" model introduced in 2013 is also pretty reliable, but some units are not good for modding.

- babypuncher 3y agoThey started becoming less prevalent throughout 2008, as manufacturers got better at working with RoHS-compliant solder and die shrinks meant less heat. However, the failure rate for the early models was only 25%. An astronomically high number for any consumer electronic and 10x that of the Nintendo Wii, but still a minority of consoles. Plenty of people got "bad" consoles in 2006, 2007 and didn't have a failure until 2009 or 2010. There were also plenty of "refurbished" consoles floating around game stores and ebay for years that would eventually fail again.
