Again I have no direct experience in the V-8s and the M104 will give the early V-8s a good run.
I am staying on topic. I am answering to OP's question which was/is "What is absolute best gas W124 for reliability & durability" I'm telling him to avoid the 94-95 and I'm telling him why. Can't be more OT than that. Yes, I agree, I'd still take a 94-95 W124 over most anything else...... except an older W124.
