get what you like, don't go by who votes what.
but i'll put in my 2 cents anyway. keep in mind these are my opinions only, not trying to start any sort of war.
i personally like the thirdgens over the 4th gens in terms of styling and interior space. Of the 4th gen lt1 cars, about the only ones I really like are the camaro SS and the firehawk or Ws6 cars with the ram air hoods. alternately the thirdgen cars, there aren't many i actually dislike.
Drivetrain wise, the LT1 is really not that much of a step up from the L98 either IMO. speed density l98/auto cars that aren't burdened with options can run low 14's bone stock. Stock Lt1/auto 4th gens are probably right around the same place. The lt1/6 speed cars are quicker, which is an advantage over the thirdgens, but the 6 speed swap on a thirdgen is no big deal either, and I'd guess that a t56 l98/SD thirdgen would run with the lt1 cars. I did my iroc like 2 and a half years ago, and I know at least a dozen other people who have done the swap.
Finally, another consideration is that since the last of the lt1 cars are about 8 years old now, either way, you're gonna need to work on the car. Not to mention you'll probably want to mod it as well. The thirdgens are probably cheaper to work on or mod, and certainly easier to work on under the hood.
