Its a hard call and I don't think there's a definitive answer short of taste, or what an individual decides they want to try. Especially considering the cost of entry for a nice 356 (depending upon the model) is equal to or more than most modern and far more capable Porsches.

I owned my first 356 (64 SC cab) in my mid 20's, and had owned 2 911s prior. I traded that car for a 72 911E and cash, and bought it back 10yrs later only to sell it again in 3yrs after that. In the meantime, I had 2 other 356s, one of which (an outlaw) I've owned now for roughly 30yrs.

Anyway, in todays vintage car atmosphere (notice I didn't say market), I think more or less the younger crowd seems to gravitate more to what they've heard, or been told, was now cool, as opposed to being a real enthusiast of the marque or the model. However, that's just my observation.

Either way, life's too short to drive boring cars!
