Time for some collective bench racing...

I think German Look fits both 1302/1303 and the 1200 well and I like both equally.There are certain parts that only look right on a 1303 like widened fenders (wings for UK) with a lip.For me however,Mirko´s 1303 is the pinacle of German Look (the blue 03 above).I had the privilege of seeing that car built from start to finish.Never has a bug with such modifications and hardcore race tech left Remmele´s shop,but there´s another even better one with a 3.2 Liter type 4 near completion now...
Basically, the only thing that is 1303 is the body and pan,and they are heavily modified also.I think a true GL should have a type 4 in it also.

Having gone the early route and then some personally, I have to say that as far as making a package work, the late cars are much easier comparatively, with a lot of mods being bolt on affairs. The weight packaging Rich mentioned is also important for balance. I'm stuck on the early cars for looks alone, but if you are happy with either than I would go with late.
