Not sure what really dictates it to be made in Stuttgart vs. Finland, but something like 80% of them are from Finland from memory.

I always wanted a car built in Stuttgart as "true" Porsche, but after thinking about it, I thought that I wanted a car from a factory where all they built was Boxsters vs. 911/Boxster as maybe you will get a better car?

Porsche's historically have been built in many different plants and by many different coachbuilders (Valmet, Drauz, Reutter, maybe others).
What dictates one car being made in Stuttgart versus Finland is a simple matter of production capacity. There is no difference other than that Porsche had more orders for Boxsters than they could produce at Stuttgart. No mystery here.
