Valium is a good drug for long-term use. I've taken it many times myself and liked it. There's really nothing wrong with Valium that justifies its reputation in America. Generic diazepam is the most commonly prescribed benzo here in the UK. As with other benzos, some people find it depresses them and makes them groggy but this is individual preference and doesn't make Valium a 'bad drug' per se. Some people respond better to short-acting benzos and others to long-acting ones. If you're looking for a long acting benzo that's gentle and kind to both mind and pocket then Valium is an excellent choice.
