It seems that most speakers don't last longer as they start having one issue after another as the years go by. When it comes to selecting a good speaker, what is your target and how do you always go about picking the one that can last longer with no issues?

Setting aside overload - mechanical or electrical - most speakers can be expected to last decades.  The main thing that affects a speaker that is very old is the paper cone can get brittle.  But I rarely see that on a speaker that is indoors in a controlled environment with pleasant temperature and average humidity.  I usually see that in speakers that have been stored in hot, dry places like garages and storage units.  The environment can also be hard on speakers in cars for the same reason.
