It all depends on usage!  Both technologies have their pluses and minuses.
You can have spinning rust active for over 10 years, but are subject to
start/stop cycles.
SSDs have write limits, requiring wear-leveling to prevent writing to the
same cell over and over.
Basically:  YMMV but both techs are "reliable".
