Depends on how much money you want to save. I went Base and I'm really happy with it. If you aren't using it for off-roading, don't waste your money on the Sas package. An aftermarket lift will be a lot cheaper, especially since you want to go aftermarket on your rims.
If you like the rims, just put on a taller tire. I went with a 33 with no lift, and they fit perfectly. You can get the speedometer corrected, so it's no big deal going bigger.
I have a Base model. I recommend eco mode. In the rain, acceleration is a lot tamer, and if needed, your traction control kicks in if you start slipping.
I've had mine since December 2021, and it has 40,000 miles on it. It has been great, other than a few little recalls and replacing the hard top twice. I would do it again with no problem, still enjoy driving it!!
Go to an exhaust shop in your area, will save you money. You might want to go with a muffler for a better sound. I went with a Flowmaster and I'm happy with it. Not a V8 sound, but it works.
