Just for the record here (i.e., moral support for you, Trevor), I too have always been a strong believer in ECC.  And heck, the original IBM PC had ECC (or did it just do parity checking, and crash if parity error?).

I'm looking for input from anyone in the club who may be knowledgable,
eyeballing, or has purchased a "workstation" system recently with ECC
memory.  (Note, ECC is imperative!)  I don't need dual-socket, crazy
speed, just something like a mid-range modern i7 with modern RAM, slots,
etc.  (i3 speeds won't cut it.)
