Not that much in it, Ninety has marginally more power, and very slightly more comfortable.
If you aren't doing masses of miles, I would go with petrol. Choices would be two and a quarter in a series, or 2.5 in a Ninety. Some series have been uprated to 2.5 petrol or diesel. There were a few V8, both Series 3 and Nineties.
Most Series are now Nil VED, as they are classified as historic vehicles.

I think I would go for a late Series 2a, or an early Series 3. that way you would get the free tax, and might be marginally better build quality than a later 3, or a Ninety.
What sort of budget? And are you looking for a resto, or something re-chassised and raring to go?
I like the classified ads in the back of the specialist Landrover mags, but the For Sales on the forum might be worth a look too.
Or you could place a wanted ad on the forum see what pops up.

Budget I'm hoping around £3k, don't mind a resto job at all. A bloke I work with has a Tdci (that hes making to look like an Urban Truck - and he's doing a bloody good job), a 2.5 diesel 90 and a series 3! He's just informed me he has a 2.25 petrol engine too! I might be in luck. Definitely focus on the early Series 3 I think, I've been looking on the sales pages here but the ads always seem to be old so I never know if they've been sold or not.

Great motor. But if you see one for 3k, buy it for me.
X1 but a bit rare.
