Don't by a 2G if you wan't it for reliability unless you know how to tear down and rebuild the 4G63. Most of the used ones now are about 10 years old and have seen their fair share of abuse by dumbass teens if they aren't wrapped around a poll or rotting in a junkyard. Its a GREAT car when its running but your going to want to set it on fire when it's not.

If you want reliability, do as Hijacker said and don't mod it too much, just do some simple bolt ons and focus on the looks. Don't get an auto V6 unless you want to have trans work done on it eventually. If you want something a little quicker look for the 2000 GTs since they don't have pre-cats, other then that a 5spd GTS is a fine pick.

If you do want to go turbo, go ahead and get the 4G64 since you can turbo that engine so easily over night without really breaking the bank (minus the tuning part).
