I would go New.... Except for the fact that you'll never own the car, you have to keep it below a stupidly low Mileage limit and hand it back at the end of the period in factory fresh condition which means costly bodywork repairs due to car park cretins. I had a new motor that spent more time at the dealer than parked outside my house. Nope, as much as I like the idea, I'll keep with my old knackers.
Also, you have to find the repayment come hell or high water. At least with a motor you own, all barring a catastrophic failure you can choose when you need to spend the money rather than it going out month after month to a finance company.
