Cresta/Soarer/Mark II or Laurel/Silvia S14/Cefiro

Looking to get my first jdm and I’m not entirely sure which of these I would prefer more. Any insight on to which ones or one would be better than the others? Preferably manual over auto but I’m not picky. I would prefer to stay in the late 80s models for there BOX shape. Any suggestions would be appreciated
