I don't prefer the GM 900's, but if you decide to go that route, I would recommend the Saab 4 cyl engine over the V6 (only by what I have heard from others).
I must also agree with Brownie about getting a non-turbo and the 5-speed, but I would get a turbo without much reservations, but I do not recommend the auto tranny. In my experience (12 classic 900's over 20 years) they're not as durable, and the mileage is not even close to what a 5-speed will bring (close to 30 mpg overall).
I also really enjoy the 900 sunroof, so I always get a turbo or an S. (or as in my most recent case, a GLE which goes back to 1979-80)
Good luck and let us know what you find (always a fun experience:-).
