R8 was super comfortable drove it 14k miles.. interior is wide and much roomier then the 997 or any 911 cant say for the 991.

Both are equally daily driveable.
The 991 has got the upper hand in the performance dept, but the R8 will command a stronger presence on the road.
The R8 is getting a facelift next year before it is replaced by the new 2014 R8, so maybe if you're all about staying "current" the 991 is the way to go.
Doesn't sound like you could go wrong either way, flip a coin.
I'd vote for the R8, but I'm bias having had one.
[EDIT]: oh wait, no manual. 991 then hands down...the R8 fail-tronic is garbage.
