Search for cracked cylinder liners, heads, 99 seem to be worst.
The ims is well know and there are preventatives.
But due to the block issues you couldn't give me a 99.
I got 4 calls from 99 owners in my area this past year,
all with intermix issues, and none were worth rebuilding/replacing the engine.

Interesting comments, I know many guys with 99 996's with over 100K miles with just oil changes and other regular maintenance.
Usually we hear the most from people that have problems with their cars, as humans, we tend to voice our displeasures/problems more often than our pleasures/happiness.
The failures that you mention DO happen, but I do not think they happen as often as they are promoted.
I respect your opinion: "Personally I would avoid the 99"
but I think you went overboard stating that you would not receive a free 99 996
