personally I'd go for lower mileage. 96-99 Boxster is basically the same, 2000-2004 is more or less the same, same for 2005 to 2008 and 2009 - 2012. Within of each of these groups I would look for the least wear and tare. 20K less miles seems better to me if the asking prices are that close.

Check the rear tires. See what the replacement cost for the tire model would be.

Unless the 2011 has much nicer options go with the 2010.... Otherwise less miles is always better.
