Default Which Street/Track Car To Get??

Recently sold my Lotus Exige which was an 85% track car due to the fact that I don't go to the track nearly as often and it was miserable as a street car. So I am trying to decide which of the following to get as a 70% street car:

993 Turbo; 996 GT2; 997 GT3 (2007 model)

I know these are all great cars but I want a car that I can drive on the street about 4k-6k miles a year and the rest track. I am not sure about reliability of the older 993's, GT2's or GT3's so any feedback would be helpful. Also, maintenance cost is important so if anyone has an idea of the costs of regular things that need looking after that would be great as well.

We had a 997 GT3 at our last track day, with slicks. It was by far the fastest car on the track.
