Ugh... new tranny...is a used one okay?

First off, to email me remove NOSPAM from my email address...
I just got the bad news from my mechanic today that I need a new transmission... $1600 for a rebuilt one from Saab, around $2500 after labor and taxes. Yeesh. I have two questions:
a) My mechanic told me that transmissions tend to be Saab's weakest link, and that he doesn't like to put used ones in, since if it fails no one is happy. Is this true? Is there any way to get a low-mileage transmission?
(b) If there is clutch work to be done, does it make sense to do it now, while they are working on the transmission, or can it wait? I can't afford either one, really...
Thanks for your speedy response (I have to let him know ASAP),
Betsey
