Will boot and operate properly. With or without activity will freeze
with no repeatability. If it goes to sleep it will wake up but not
respond consistently.
Freeze - not a kernel panic, just a complete system lock-up - no
activity in windows, menu bar items don't update, and the mouse
cursor is immobile?
Are there any crash or panic logs at all?
Any errors being thrown into system.log shortly before or at the freeze?

Seems like you covered the bases quite well !
Have you reseated the power supply connections?
(long shot; doesn't really jive with it being stable under 9.2.2 or Panther).
In Tiger, if you turn off Spotlight's indexing (mdutil, fm Terminal),
does the system become more stable?
(Spotlight and other services that touch the HDs often are not
running in Safe or Single User modes. I'm
contemplating internal HD or cable or bus issues).
See if Tiger is stable while booted on an external drive after you've
disconnected the data cable to the internal drive(s).
