Default Radio's Old vs. New

I have read much here on the topic of radio frequencys and/or performance.I am attempting to re-enter the R/C world after about 23 years absence.I have tried two new radio's so far,Airtronics 6000.had battery problems,sold it(noting the problems to the buyer).Now a Futaba 6x or something like that,two servo's went bad so far,replaced with hi-tec,but I'm still afraid to fly "not trusting" it.So I considered buying an old Kraft or pro-line and paying the price to upgrade,only to be discouraged here reading all the information.So guys, who makes a reliable,work right out of the box system?Without spending $1000. Thanks John
Oh, for what its worth,Kraft in the late 70's went to complete plug in modules for frequency changes,while Futaba had only crystals.What did Kraft know that futaba didn't.(or didn't care so they could sell cheaper).[]
