One make isn't really better than another. Quantity manufactured normally determines what may be more collectible.
This is my choice order.

Saginaw SG but these are to be sold without wood
NPM
IBM
SP

That's a tough question, with 1&2 able to go either way, but ditto on oldjarhead's order.

Watch the value of Saginaw stocks go up on Epay. Watch out for the phoney ones too.

Really makes no difference. They are all good quality. Just pick the one you like best.

Pick the top two that you want and go for it. But remember there is a limited number of these carbines, and it is luck of the draw with regards to overall condition. Of course it will most likely be good shape and will certainly be shootable.
