From a mathematical perspective, imho, there seem to be 2 curves. The aesthetics + build quality curve is for me an inverse relationship, decreasing over time as GM cheapened things up. The reliability curve is a kind of maybe exponential curve as bugs got worked out, and sludging, the biggest bug, took a while (seems about 2004)... you can search this board for the specifics, but for me the curves intersect around 2004/2005. That said, if you need roof rails, many of the wagons lost them around that time period (GM beancounting), so it might take some looking to find a good one...
but use the search feature to find year specific details re dic, sid, sludge, the V6 (if you're interested), etc.
