Both are good cars. The 9-5, while older design, is probably more reliable. Some would argue the 9-5 retains more saab dna. But you can get a turbo v-6 in the 9-3 but only a turbo i-4 in the 9-5 (which is larger and heavier). But both are reliably fast.
You could slice it a lot of ways but it really comes down to the quality of the specific used car you're considering buying. If you aren't sold on either, look at and drive both. For ~12k-15k you can get either in mint condition with <50k miles. The best deal in the used car market, imo.
