I am also thinking of getting myself a 996. The IMS issues may be blown out of proportion but they do happen. Some people have done the upgraded bearing only to find that the original bearing was fine. Others have found a bearing on the way out.
From what I have been reading they seem to very reliable once some problem areas are addressed: IMS, AOS, water pump. When (if..) I pick one up I am going to bite the bullet and do the upgraded IMS bearing purely for peace of mind.
One member here (450 knot office) has a 2000 and it has been very reliable racking up lots of miles. Do a search here on "996 daily driver".
