In the middle of 1986, SAAB introduced a couple of things that make the c900 gearbox better. Inner drivers were upgraded on non-turbo models, exhaust was changed somewhat, and gearbox centering went from external to internal. If you get a late-'86, you will get a flat-front's dashingly handsome looks and all these upgrades with a 16v engine's reliably and ease of parts-finding. LH2.2 isn't the most efficient injection system under the sun, but it's a sight better in terms of reliability and efficiency than K-Jet!
If you want better brakes, I'd try an '88, though. The pre-'88 brakes can be awful if you don't know their quirks.
Getting anything later will get you into ABS and airbags and such, all of which introduce problems of their own.
