You would get better rates both due to fixed gear and lower hull value.
The 336 owners I have talked to a very happy with them. They knewt they were getting a slower airplane with fixed gear when they bought them. There is a rear engine cooling problem with 336s (but not 337s), but you can easily solve it by running with the rear engine cowl flap open all the time. Other than that, I have heard no gripes.
There are a couple of 336 owners that frequent the site, perhaps they can comment.
