I'm sure there's plenty of Verizon signal around my area, but I've never been a Verizon customer so I can't say for sure. If nothing else, I doubt that they have much signal here in my house - pretty much no one does except Sprint (and even that's pretty weak).
I drove across several states with my Mogul last weekend, and had no trouble with it. I switched through all kinds of coverage areas along the way, including plenty of roaming, plenty of 1X, and plenty of EVDO - and switching among them many times.
As for rebooting the phone occasionally, it's more a matter of convenience than necessity. Sometimes IE or some other app will tie up the phone pretty solidly. I can wait for it to time out, or I can reboot. Sometimes rebooting is the path of least resistance.
I find it hard to believe that you never reboot your phone, but perhaps you're just more patient than I am. <g> In any event, my point is that 2.16 is about as solid for me as 2.09 was - with the exception of the failure of a couple of apps.
