To answer your question OP, its rare, but I have seen a few FWD with failed driveshafts, yet only one RWD with a damaged diff.
The RWD isn't know just for longtivity as the main course, it gives you better axle weights when loaded, and also better stability at speed. You tend to get a bit of a shorter final drive, and slightly less MPG as the downsides though.
If your looking at a Transit Van, the RWD will increase loading height by about 5", so be careful if its bulky object your trying to get up.
Feel free to e-mail me through PM, tell me what you require from your van, and ill point you what I think would be best for you direction wise.

Blimey the more you read the replies I'm surprised to see any vans on the road as they all seem to be s
te.
Just like to say had my 2 LT vans for 7 years and theve done about 100k miles.
Rust is the main issues on the arches and panel joints.
Steering rack has been replaced on one and the other needs it doing really.
Apart from ball joints and brake discs normal servicing theve been excellent.
You can get 500 miles out of a tank too which is acceptable too.
Still in favour of buying the Crafter.
