Update regularly. Arch has been the most stable and reliable distro for me, and when it has broken, its by far the easiest to fix with the most up-to-date documentation and forums.
If you don't update for a couple months you can possibly break your entire install. But even if its every couple of months, you'll be fine. Often you'll run into a small issue updating where it will error out due to a change in a package. copy and paste the exact error into your search engine and it will almost always take you to a recent arch forum or archlinux.org blog post explaining the couple commands to fix it to be on your way.
My thinkpad has had an arch(antergos) install for almost 4 years. It outlived the antergos project.
