Thee are a couple of difference between the two. But you didn't mention what year 993.
A 1995 993 is OBD1 and the rest are OBD2. Some prefer the 1995 because of this.
As far as maintenance goes they both use the same amount of oil but the 993 has two filters. And they are nowhere as easy to get to as the one in the 911.
Twice as many spark plugs in the 993. And then twice as many wires. Two distrubutor caps and rotors on the 993.
Hydraulic lifters in the 993 (big plus) that don't need the 15,000 mile (or whatever routine you want to follow) adjustment like the 911.
993 tires are usually more expensive, 17's or 18's versus the 16's on the 911.
Brake pads and rotors are more expensive on the 993.
