Don't forget the glass rear window in the 2003+, for many that is the single biggest difference and, in my opinion at least, transforms the car. I think the "S" or Base is your biggest decision to make, if wanting an "S" makes you buy the 01 then so be it as the performance is key, if refinements rule then maybe the 03 Base will appeal more.
A lot may also depend on finding the color/options you favor too, do you want Litronics, heated seats, Bose etc etc...
