I'd stay away from W220s as well considering they rust just as bad, and if not properly maintained are money pits. There's too many electronics and costly repairs even with my own labor that steers me away from owning those.

A properly maintained early w211 with the 722.6 is a great bet. I foresee owning a E350 in my future. Great cars, but do require a scantool unless you like paying mechanics. I personally don't like paying someone for something I can do myself the right way.
If I'm going for the E class, I'd like a wagon with 4matic. From what I've been able to find out, and I might me wrong, the 4matic had the 722.6 through the 211 line.

Apparently the SBC is covered in Canada for 15 years parts and labor.

As a humerous side note, after reading everything about all kinds of cars on the internet, I think that maybe I should never go anywhere again, I'm just going to hide in the corner with a blanket pulled over my head... Every car I get is out to get me one way or another...
