From a cost stand point the 997 and 993 are going to be the biggest cost and surprisingly a 2009 Cayman or later isn't far behind and may be more. These have the newer DFI engine and there were not that many sold. There do seem to be a lot of auto tranny 2006-2008 Cayman's so one could be had for a decent price especially if you don't have to have an S model. The 996's are a relative bargain especially if you like the styling. The 2004+ 996's have the latest tweaks.
I've driven 996's, 993's, and 1st gen Cayman's and I've owned a 997S and now have a new Cayman S and my choice is the Cayman. It just flat out handles the others. I really didn't think the 997 handled that much better than the 996 especially given the additional cost.
The 993 is more of a collector's car so I wouldn't make one a DD.
