John...
There are 3 flavor from the years you mention, the base, the SE and the AERO... Both the Base and Aero are 4cyl while the SE is a 6 cyl...
Since you want the 4 cyl, I believe the 9-5 base put out 170 hp in 1999... It was then increase to 185 hp ... I believe in 2001. For the 2000 model year only, I believe you can get an ECU upgrade directly from SAAB, which increases it to around 200 hp or so...
As far as the stick goes. If you go with the 4 cyl base version, then you may prefer the stick, as some find it somewhat sluggish with the auto...
Hopefully someone will chirp in if I've mistated anything
good luck
