Some people love the V-6, and some won't touch it because we are 2.3 traditionalists. You will have a hard time getting an objective comparison of the two engines.
I had a 2001 Aero, now have a 2004. I loved the 2001 which was completely trouble-free (except for the SID, of course). A pre-2002 Aero is a great car. In fact, any 9-5 is a great car, unless of course it has been driven without regular oil changes, which does sometimes happen!
For me the xenon headlights introduced for model year 2002 are the single most important update. I would not want to have a 9-5 without xenons.
And so if it were me I would try to find a clean, well-maintained 2002 or later Aero with xenons -- like the one linked below, assuming that its condition is as good as is implied (I have no specific knowledge of that car except what is in the ad).
