2002 on is a heavier car so, compromises everywhere.
I think its a dead heat for either option of the 2001 S or the 2003 S.
My 2001 S has 71k miles now and no issues at all and I drive the crap out of it at every opportunity and its the dailly driver and Auto-X machine as well.

2000-2002 3.2 cases are identical, 2003up cases were redesigned for improved AOS & reduced crankcase pressure. No change of cylinder wall thickness!
