Default Does mileage matter....5.3 for Turbo project

I'm wanting to do a Turbo 5.3 in my Buick Regal. I've found 2 locally. One is out of a 04' Tahoe and has 120K on it. The other is out of an 07' Silverado and has 30K on it. I can buy the 30K mile engine for $200 more than the 120K mile engine.

I would assume the lower mileage would be a better deal, but I'm new to these engines. Any help would be appreciated.

if you are not rebuilding it the one with 30k for $200 bucks more is no brainer.
