Is this a value question where you have only this much to spend, or a personal question?
If it's personal, and I only had that much to spend, I would save up/wait until I found a '10 model I liked and buy the sport/touring, unless you plan lotsa mods or something. It's better to save for a bit longer and get what you want rather than buy "now" and then a few months later when you would have saved a few K and evened it out see what you REALLY wanted and think "Man, I could have had that if I weren't so impatient."
Avoid first year production like the plague. Also, the 1-wheel peal of the base model makes it a "fail" in my opinion as well, unless you want the car just for looks and don't care about anything performance-wise. Again, in which case the Touring is much MUCH nicer inside.
That being said, if all you have is what you have, and now is when it's got to be, get the loaded '09 and if you don't like it, you are going to come out better on the re-sale. Still, make sure the price is an equally footed "bargain" to the invoice pricing on the base. I don't know what used Z's go for.
