I would opt for one which can bring break-even faster. As i could see, used panel comes at a great price, you can go for it if you get a chance to inspect it before buying. buying it from places like ebay might not be a good idea though. You should also check out amazon, i found their pricing great recently.

Also used panel should be used only if it is grid tied; if its standalone (off grid), you should be able to get enough power from panel and new one will surely do better
