I'm planning an ITX build, and since space is tight, I'm looking to get back into using an AIO cooler after years away from them. It's overwhelming with so many brands and models available now compared to when I last used one. I want to know if there are any specific brands or models of AIO coolers that are known for their quality and longevity, rather than just performance. I'm not planning on doing heavy overclocking, so durability is my main concern. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

It really comes down to the pump's quality, and honestly, there isn't a ton of data on the longevity of different pumps. My advice would be to choose one that appeals to you visually since durability can vary. If it lasts 5+ years, you're doing well!
I think people underestimate good AIOs. I had a Corsair model that lasted 9 years without any issues; I only upgraded for a newer model with a display.
