They're just not as stout as they should/could be. Under normal driving conditions, most will be fine. Start doing performance stuff and you'll be rebuilding or replacing before too long.

A built 4l60e (level 5) or a 4l80e. It depends on your application. The 80e is more expensive. They're also heavier and that affects performance, but they're virtually bullet-proof.
