every console has a warranty of 3 years for RROD, so if ur console has warranty send it to microsoft. then there wont be any problem they will replace urs.
If u want some specific game that is available only in xbox then buy for xbox otherwise go for PS3 and have peace of mind.
I would place the Xbox in a cool an well ventilated area. Also I would set it horizontally so that the DVD player faces upwards which should help reduce scratches on your games.
After the red ring death is repaired. It should last you a while. You just need to keep you console in a well vented area.
