Reliability question: HDD vs SSD

I'm wondering which are more reliable, less likely to corrupt, etc.
I'm assuming that Solid State Drives (SSDs) are more reliable because there are no moving parts, but I'm curious to know what other people think -- should I even back up my SSD at all?

I'd say SSDs will be more reliable when new, but they do have a more limited number of read/write cycles (at least for now), so I'd rather use an old HDD than an old SSD
