I really wanted to get a first year vehicle as I plan on keeping this for the long haul and handing it down one day to future generations of family to enjoy. And I figured that over time, the older the vehicle would retain slightly more value seeing as how nothing drastic is different between them and as of now they are similarly priced.
If that is less of an issue for you I would say the newer the build date the more time the builders have had to practice and you will have the latest versions of all of the components.
