'03 SL55
Depends on your motivation. If you aren't planning to modify the car to add power, a newer, lower mileage SL63 is a good choice. If you are going to add power then an SL55 or, especially, an SL600 would be a good choice.

I would choose an SL55, (2003-2008), before they ruined the front end of the SL beginning in 2009 by flattening out the nose and changing the headlights. Nothing beats the powerful feel of that supercharger, (kompressor), and the 5-speed tranny actually feels more sporting than the 7-speed for downshifting and upshifting manually using the shift lever. (I still prefer that method over the steering wheel buttons). With the supercharger you don't miss the extra gears at all.

What would I do?
See my signature. That's what I'd do.
It's an impossible question for anyone but yourself to answer. We can supply you with the differences and potential of each model you listed, but only YOU know what you want.
