Default XR5T or XR6T

Hey everyone, So I'm new here and I hope I'm posting this in the right spot!
I'm a 19 y/o male no longer on my P's and I've decided that I will part with my Suzuki Sierra and instead I will be buying an either an FG XR6T (2008 - 2010) or an XR5T around the same year bracket. I've driven both and they are quite fun.

My budgets sorta around $21k cash give or take, and probably around 90k on the clock for both vehicles (I've had a look around and both seem pretty much exactly the same in terms of price and age in WA). Insurance is almost the same for both.

My minds set on one of these two vehicles so I shan't be swayed, but as I ride my motorbike to uni or from A to B, I'd want this as my fun car which I can take out on sunday, get my shopping or my wet weather car etc. I will more then likely do some minor work too either vehicles, but I definitely won't be doing any mods that put crazy amounts of extra power at the rear / front wheels.

So what I'm wondering as both cars have around 3 - 5 years behind them, what car would you recommend too get in terms of reliability / part availability / cost of fixing / modding / resale / overall safeness ?
