Nowt wrong with Lycoming engines, they are very reliable. Indeed they are about as reliable as piston engins can get.
If you want a statistically more reliable engine you are going to need to step up to a PT6.

Any modern engine should easily make it to or beyond TBO if properly cared for but thy are all more likely to fail if abused.
