The answer is totally based on opinion and personal preference. I like the original 289 body best as I like classic British sports cars. I bought a 427 model because there wasn't a 289 out there that l liked (accurate reproduction), though I did find one later. (I have both)
Like Jeff points out, 289 stuff is much harder to find and much more expensive when you do. I've been collecting those parts for about 4 to 5 years now. If originality isn't your thing, it can be much cheaper.
Either way though, it all boils down to which you like better. You're the only one you have to please.
