As to a response, without seeing them in person and checking them over, who knows. No one can anser that question over the interwebs. However, I would be going with the 06 Bean out of the 3 if I were buying blind.
I recently read that Subaru finally switched to multilayer gaskets, I believe, in 2010. If that is true, it could be reason to believe the problem will be much less frequent.
