Question about FWD SVX Tranny

Once apon a time I used to own a 93 AWD SVX. I traded it in after the second tranny, numerous wheel bearings and 4 front rotor changes ( I love warranties ). Now that I am more informed and better prepared I'm in the mood for an SVX again.
The question that I have is do the plain old FWD SVX'x have the same tranny problems? My understanding is that the clutch packs in the AWD tranny along with the slipage from front to rear drive power caused the heat build up in the trannies, without the AWD do the FWD trannies have the same problems?
On my SVX only the rear wheel bearing kept going out, is it only the rears that are prone to failure? Also, only my front rotors were warping ( I now know the cause of this ) but after 4 pairs I would have thought that the rears would have at least a slight shudder.
I'm looking at a 92 FWD SVX and a 96 AWD SVX, just wondering which to get.
