Unless you only live to canyon carve or autox, get the 993. Believe me, you will not regret it, once.

Coupe or cab? Are there substantial arguments for one or the other or is really just a matter of personal preference. I read somewhere the maintenance is comparable between coupe and cab.

One thing the 996 cabs have going for them (vs. 993s) is that they don't obstruct the rear seats with the top down.

Totally up to you on Coupe or Cab, same car less a little rigidity for Cab. I bought the 993 Coupe for the iconic shape and was frankly convertibled out after 25 years of them. Targas are also based on the convertible chassis, the tops are known to have issues also. Except for the top, no discernible difference between maintenance coupe or cab. Buyer's Video on 993's:
