Based on past experience, which option is likely to give us better legacy stability when a session is restored years down the line?

My background is only with Structure, which I've used weekly for going on 5 years now. WRT stability, performance & support, I'd definitely suggest you go the Kontakt route.
AIR, who makes Structure, has been pretty flakey IMO wrt their workflows, updates, and support in general. My background is as a guitarist, and Structure serves my (rather small) needs wrt composing, but it's definitely a semi-pro product when it comes to the above stated needs.
It's fairly intuitive, has good samples - although fairly limited in 3rd party "gleanings" - and integrates well with Pro Tools, but if I was relying on it for the daily needs/pressures of professional film/tv work, I'd shoot myself in the head.
YMMV.
