From what I have seen an heard during my time with Boxsters, I would actually go for the higher mileage Boxsters as one way to increase the likelihood of an IMS failure seems to be to only drive a low amount of miles per year.

The 2003 Boxster will have the glass rear window, which is a bonus but you have to offset this with say $3000 for a new clutch, RMS and IMS upgrade (I only say new clutch as you should budget for it needing to be replaced at the time you pull it off to get to the IMS and RMS and just be really happy if it turns out it is not needed.)
