The 9-5 is a newer design, a slightly larger car and has more of everything, but either one would be fine. The newer design translates most notably in an improvement in ride because of the fully independent 9-5 rear suspesion vs the harsh riding twist beam rear axle of the 9-3. My experience is that the 9-5 is a more reliable car, better rating in consumer publications for reliability too.
Go with your preference, the 9-5 is better in every way, not that a 9-3 is deficient. Some would argue that the 9-3 is a little spunkier and some would sing the praises of the hatchback, but that line of thought seems to totally disregard the best hatchback ever, the 9-5 SportWagon.
