We have the DRS 2000 Sakura - we just use it for H&E's.  We haven't had any
problems with it.  For IHC we have the Ventana ES - got it in 1996 and so far
so good.  We are looking into getting a special stainer and have demo'ed the
Ventana and will be demo-ing the Optimax and the Cytologix.

We use Surgipath's Harris Hematoxylin for H&E's and Surgipath Gill's 3 for
Cytology.
