Default crank runout

I understand the worst year for crank problems on the twin cam is 2007. is there a year that is known to have the least crank problem?

Old Hippie has it right. 99-2002 had the forged crank and Timpken bearing. My built 95" 2000 Dyna Wideglide recently measured under .0015" runout with 31k hard miles.
