They sell a girdle for the 10 bolts, which seems kind of like a band-aid to me. From what I've heard, most of the fairly serious guys get a Moser 12-bolt and be done with it. All I know for sure is that the 10-bolts in the Camaros (mine included) seem to be hard on bearings.

As for the T-56 being "tough", I don't know...my SS is on it's 3rd gear set, and I know of a couple of other manual cars here in the "woods" that have had problems. But, I've also seen some power adder cars run them with no trouble, so who knows. And, the new 500hp Viper is using it, so someone has some confidence in it! I'm not up on the auto cars, but I hope the 4L60E is tougher than the 4L80E that I had in my truck...2 rebuilds in just over a year. A manual tranny soon followed!
