i own a 2000 maxima and a 2002 SE 6 speed. the difference between the 3.0 and the 3.5 is like night and day, plus the 02-03's have more amenities, like heated steering wheel, 6 disc in dash changer, HID's, and it's got a digital readout telling you things like the ambient temperature, your current mpg, and how many miles you have left until your tank is empty. the difference in power and speed between the altima and maxima(3.5) is almost negligible. i prefer the maxima for the 6 speed tranny. i can drive 85 mph at 2500 rpm in 6th gear and average up in the 35+ mpg range on the highway. if you're gonna go with a nissan IMO it's worth the extra $$ to get one with a VQ35.
