Would I be happy with Nismo

I would lay down a plan on what you want to do with your Z, just minor bolt on upgrades, maybe better brakes then a Nismo would be a nice option to get. If you want a full change, suspension, brakes, exhaust, etc. then a normal coupe might be the best option.

Good point, what i have planned so far for the Z:

Lower it, mild drop
FI long tube headers, high flow cats and FI exhaust
CarbonSignal fenders
Spacers but stick with stock rims

Down the road:
AP 6/4 BBK
GTM S/C

Nismo you can just order springs for a nice mild drop
FI long tube headers with FI exhaust sounds great (I have had that combo but you cannot have HFC if you have LTH)
Curious how the fenders will look with a Nismo kit but should be very good

The rest are solid upgrades not destroying the extras you get with the Nismo, so I see it as a valid option to buy straight away. Plus you get a unique body kit from factory.

Maybe I am just a noob but how can you have high flow cats plus long tube headers? I thought the long tube headers deleted the cats all together?

They do, you could technically modify your exhaust to support a HFC after the LTH but would require a good bit of custom work.

You can't have both, either LTH or HFC
