I love remodeling a house that had good bones to begin with - the older the better. SB has worked with old victorians for many years so it is cool to match everything up to the old style.
New houses also give you a lot more choices. Too many sometimes? You decide. SB cringes at the thought of all the day to day maintenance type repairs a old house needs.
I think (except for the foreclosure issues which may cause many spec houses etc to drop in price) that new versus old is same as post n pier versus slab. Do what you really like.
