New wheels for my C2S -- Carrera Classic or 997 Turbo?

You got it man! The big difference will be if you run 295's or 305's in the rear. The 305's still work, but they are pretty far out - that's what I'm running now. I think the 295's will tuck nicely under the fenders.
The wheels are easy to clean. One swipe through each of the "fins" on the spokes and they're done. Plus a simple five spoke wheel. Nothing like the challenge of a P40 or similar weave wheel. And the factory polished finish really looks dynamite. Besides that, the strength of a forged wheel? Can't beat it. Keep in mind that multi piece HRE wheels and other types have spun cast barrels and only forged centers. The barrels bend like butter.

I had them on my Saleen and they would flatspot overnight

I think the the Classics do look dated, very 996-ish. Too many 996's with them, IMHO. Also, many other models (993, 964, 944) have them installed by owners who like the low weight and take-off / used price.
I don't like the Turbo wheels either, particularly not the .1 turbo.
My favorite wheels are the Sport Designs, but they're only 18", so that's probably out. Next would be the 997 GT3 19", Boxster Spyder, and Carrera Sports. Any of those would also look great in black.
Good luck!
