Any firearm with that kind of life expectancy would be considered junk. Also, the 'kaboom' issue you reference was not caused by a design issue. Covered above.
I'm in no way a Glock fanboy - I have (in addition to 3 Glocks) Springfield, Ruger and S&W pistols. My daughter shoots a G17 (pretty much the same pistol) in USPA, it's one of the sweetest guns I've ever shot (slightly upgraded.) I've tried to steal it to use in place on my match XD, but she prefers to keep it on her nightstand.
If you're unsure, go rent one, or find a friend with a selection of similar pistols to try. None are "the best", and not all might suit you.
Edit - re: carry - I carry a G43. Previously a G26, but it wasn't as easy to conceal, I waited for the 43 for a long time. The 43 fits in my pocket.
