There will always be someone out there FASTER and more HP then you! Bottom line. I was torn also with this same dilemma. Since there will ALWAYS be someone out there with MORE then you, Go with what body style you like the best. I love the looks of the 05-09. Ford got this right. (if only they fortified the bottom end). I opted for a blown 06 that has 431HP to the tires. Respectable HP, love this body style.
Just my opinion.

5.0, for alot of reasons imo. First you get a warrantee which covers any issues. 2nd, the insurance difference is negligible. 3rd, the financing rates on new cars are better, 4th you have 412 hp stock, 5th the 5.0 has far more potential when you do run out of warrantee and have it paid off, supercharger = like 600 hp

Welllllll guyyyyyysssss, I was waiting due to my last insurance quote from progressive..... 480 a month for a 5.0 because I have 1 speeding ticket on my record.... last night I got bored and decided to shop around for insurance... Geico will insure my current car, and a 2011 GT for 240 a month. I will have a 5.0 in the driveway by the end of Feb. 
Stay tuned! Im thinking hood and rims right out of the box.

When I was looking into mustangs... I test drove a 2011 Mustang 5.0 with 6spd and leather and brembos. Gorgeous car, plenty of power, fit and finish was impeccable for a car of this price range.
Then I test drove the 08 GT 5spd that I ended up purchasing. I ended up with a great looking car, that has plenty of oomph, an interior that's plenty comfortable for commuting. Sure it has some squeaks and rattles and isn't the fastest ride on the block, but it suits me just fine and I saved 10 grand!
