I'm considering coming back to a 911 and the 997.2 fits the bill although I'm done with manuals for road cars, so I'll be looking solely at the pdk.
First choice was a 4s but the only one that stands out is the porsche car with ceramics all the others just look the same but I think their car is over priced considering how long it's been about. There is a Carrera that stand outs in red with ceramics on AT but never heard of the dealer.
If you want a manual then I would consider the 996 Turbo but your need to work on the interface to run Bluetooth etc and bring up to speed with more recent stuff.
