    Umm.. Welcome to the site. Here some +rep.
    I got a Ps3 slim and my bro has a fat with bc and still running strong.
    So I would say depends on how you take care of it.
    A slim is supposedly less prone to YLOD though.

    The main thing is finding a ps3 with OFW 3.55 or below if you want CFW.
    Unless your gonna downgrade / flash it with ProgSkeet or E3.

    fats have a higher chance of getting YLOD due to the cheap components they used with launch models. Slims have a smaller chance of YLOD than fats. Also if you find a Fat with BC on the market, its most likely been refurbished.

    Fixing a YLOD console is a pain in the arse and unless you absolutely must have a BC console, Id say go for a slim.
