Curious ... when you did your TM backups that later failed, were you also multi-tasking? or leaving the OS to backup only? My QS Dual 1GHz with OS X 10.5.4 is fairly simple now, and I haven't had trouble with TM backups. I stop opening / closing folders, or any apps I'm under control of, while the process is underway. Also backup to an external FW HD formatted with the Extended (Journaled) format. Also using CCC 3.1.3 which I really like now, too.
