I spoke with an instructor with an 05S last week at Mid-OH and with 117K on the clock he had only replaced the AOS.
As Mike F said, these cars have the small IMS bearing and it can be replaced without splitting the case.
If the car has had the maintenance done, I don't think these would be cars to avoid necessarily.
