If you can I'd look for '00-'02. Why, as with any newer model there's some upgraded parts vs the '98-99 models, not a lot but ls6 intake and no egr and some stronger bolts are a couple. The SS has larger sway bars, also. Far as the stereo goes it's difficult to just upgrade, the amp is wofully inadequate and the speakers are worse and to just upgrade them will not improve the sound quality much. It's better to replace the hole thing which means you'll loose the steering wheel controls unless you get the kit installed with it so you can still use them.

4th gens on the other hand are a modders wet dream, soooooo many parts out there to choose from and they respond very very well to well researched parts. Funny things is no Camaro 4th gen owner ever feared any Mustang GT even with an 8 yr old platform. Only untill 2011 has Ford finally built a GT that might beat a stock 4th gen.
