just look for both and think about it before you buy. if the lq9 cost $1000 more then it most likly isn't worth it. they are harder to find and will likly cost that much more or even more than that.
if you are thinking boost or significant build someday then the extra money for a lq9 is definately not worth it.
as far as what year. just get an 01 or newer, dont mess with the older ones. if it doesn't have aluminum heads then there it is likly a 00 or older.

my motor was a lq4(non ho, lower compresion), i dont think that extra .6pt of compresion is worth much but if you are NA and staying NA then it is worth a little.
just get a 2001 or newer with aluminum heads. doesn't matter if it is a lq4 or lq9, they are the same other than the pistons and either will work with the 4l60e or the 4l80e.
