Yep, they need to be run with some sort of decarboning agent or ring free on a regular basis. And the injectors in them clog up easily. 03 is either or year where it could be a great one or iffy. 04+ were pretty much solid engines that are reliable. From 96+ the harness's were pretty much universal so long as you have the system check system in there. The ETEC's did change the harness though as they added in more features to em.
I persoanlly wouldn't mind having an 03+ FICHT/DFI from BRP as they have a pretty good track record. I have passed on several of the OMC ones though as they have a track record to em that worries me a bit.
