My choice would be a 997 Carrera 4, I've been fortunate enough to own three 911 variants over the years and they were all great every day cars, servicing costs we're very reasonable and up until the advent of the 996 water cooled cars, depreciation was very low. There was always a bit of banter between Porsche & Ferrari owners. The Porsche motto was "a Porsche is a supercar for the real world" whereas the Ferrari boys use counter that with " a Ferrari is a supercar to escape the real world".
