performance wise, expect to be similar to the SPG. From everything that I've heard it won't be as solid as a 9-5 Aero, the extra 0.3L apparently makes a difference :)
I've been a 900 guy. The '98 gets you hydraulic clutch instead of cable, and all the other updates to the 900 before adding in the 9-3 sludge issue, so I think it's a great option. I'd jump at the same car in your position.
For where to spend the upgrade $, I'd start with the suspension... 6 point subframe brace, steering rack brace are the first 2... after that, probably rear brace and possibly strut tower. Obviously 2k could get you pretty far down an opened exhaust and EPC upgrade as well; but I can't personally speak to how well those do, I haven't gotten that far into performance parts.
Just my $0.02 (I can spare that much).
