i have heard that libata has much better error handling (this is what
made me try it), and from initial observations, that appears to be very
true, however, im wondering, is there something i can do to get
extremely verbose information from libata? for example if it corrects
errors? cause i'd really like to know if it still happens, and if i
perhaps get corruption as before, even though not severe.
Any errors, timeouts or retries would be showing up in dmesg..
how sure can i be of this? is it 100% sure that i have not encountered
this error then?

Pretty sure, I'm quite certain libata never does any silent error recovery..
