+1 for the RS.. sexier body work and iirc, some small other differences vs the regular GT3.

As a GT3 (or GT3 RS) they will hold value better than a regular 997. They won't necessarily appreciate in value, but they will loose it a little less, much like 996 GT3's decline less in value than regular 996's.

If you want it as a road car, from what I've read, don't buy the RS as it's just too harsh.

I suspect that the RS would hold value slightly better, if that's more of a concern to you. But both of them are way more desirable than a standard 997, so you can't really go wrong with either.

If it is a car you intend to drive often on the street I would get the GT3, if it is a car you are going to put in the garage and drive a couple hundred miles a year get GT3 RS. GT3 RS will offer slightly better performance in a track environment plus hold its value better but for a street car a regular GT3 is more comfortable and attracts much less attention (unless that is your thing).
