Gen 1 vs Gen 2?

Hi all, I have a 1989 Raider (Montero) 3.0 V6 and before it I had a 1988 2.6 L4. I love these vehicles, but parts for them are hard to come by. I've been considering Gen 2 Monteros and I was wondering if anyone had experience with both, which they prefer and why. Thanks in advance for your input!
