Default Best year for XK8 Conv vs 1996 XJS Conv?

Hello,
I am looking to purchase a very well-maintained convertible for a daily driver (I'm replacing my 1997 XJ6). What are the best years for the XK8? Did they have the same early-year engine issue as the XJ8? Did the transmission fluid need to be changed as per manufacturer vs Jag?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Rande
