I've also been using Crashplan for years (~4 IIRC). The critical thing is that restores go quite well. You can pick up random directories (up to a size limit); it'll zip it up for you to grab.
FWIW, before Crashplan I used Carbonite. I changed when I went to restore a machine and it would run for about an hour and crap out. Perhaps it's better now, but I'm happy with Crashplan and wouldn't want to go back.
