Who has more tranny problems DC or Ford?

I have always heard bad things about Mopar trannys, but by the looks of this board, there seems to be alot of Ford tranny problems as well.

Which is worse?

Dodge has more tranny problems. Ford had issues with the pre-98 4r70w transmissions. After that they are very good transmissions.

Oh boy here we go.
The pre 98 units had a spring and roller one way clutch in them that was prone to breaking the snap ring off. Pre-99 valvebodies had poor lockup flow.
pre 96 units had a flimsy lockup piston with a small diameter clutch.
I could probably ramble for a while ,but thats the biggest stuff
