As said before, really the only way that a revolver can go "bad" is to jump time, however that is EXTREMELY rare. I have a few revolvers that are from the 20s and have shot thousands upon thousands of rounds through them and they still function properly. The trick is to get a good brand. You could save some money and go w/ a cheaper brand and it will still work, but you are at a much higher chance of having something go wrong based solely on luck.
It is in your best interest to decide what you feel comfortable with. Most new shooters start out w/ a revolver, because there are less moving parts. Then they advance to autoloaders. I grew up shooting a smith and wesson highway patrolman, in .357 and loved it, then I made the switch to a 1911 and fell in love with it also.
There is something to be said about having more firepower w/ an autoloader,and for some folks thats an important issue, but to me the most important thing is to get what you feel comfortable with.
