Corolla E10 versus Corolla E11

Hello, I play with the idea of buying a cheap used Corolla. I swung between E10 from year 1996 to E11 year 1997 until beginning of 2010 (i.e. before Facelift). As far as I know, all 86 hp and 110 hp models have a freewheel motor. Overall, E10 like E11 are considered quite robust and reliable, as well as the engines (although I have read several times of high oil consumption). The E11 is slightly more expensive than the E10. Which of the above engines is more durable and consumes less oil ? (Of course I would prefer the 110 hp, but that is also much less rare to find.) Do the late E10 differ from the early E11 in terms of rust or other important things (e.g. rear brakes) ? Which can you recommend me ? Which is less need for repair ?
