Thumbs up 1999 with double row ims vs single row

Is it safe to say the '99 has a low incidence of ims failure. At less than 1%.
The rate of failure with double rows looks to be over 8%.

I'm having a ppi done on a '99 boxster this weekend Been reading up on the common issues Not sure but it seems like less than 1% is almost a non issue . Less than 1 out of 100. I may be misinterpreting these statistics ??

Preventative measures are frequent oil changes , proper viscosity , quality filters,
Magnetic drain plug , driving at rpm's 2500 & up checking filter for metal.

Any others? I was ready to look other choices for sports car BMW etc. but think the
Internet may have induced ims panic ! I don't like to gamble but the odds seem pretty good
