Personally the first 3 years I would stay away from...look at 2000 and up. Drive and S model and you will never want a base.

I did drive a 2002 S, and it's really quick. For Toronto traffic, you'll almost never make use of that power. It's hard for me to justify the cost difference.

You may find an S that doesn't cost more than a comparable base. Lots of Boxsters out there. I got an S for what I think was a minimal premium if any over comparable bases. Very happy that I got the S.
