My vote would be for the SS simply because you build it. When you are done you know your car inside and out. Helps make repairs go a bit easier. Also, building the kit doesn't take too long. If you dedicate a few hours a day, you'll have it done in a few days.
I can't speak to the differences between the two anymore. I bought my SS before the 2.0 came out. It used to be that the SS had a few better things (beefier shocks, thicker dogbones, 26cc engine). You could probably answer your comparison questions by reading about them on hpi's website.

I think the only difference now that the version 2 of the 5b has been released, is that the SS has the 26cc and the RTR has 23. I recently bought the 5b myself and I am happy :-)
I think the SS also requires a radio.

If this is true, why is the SS even an option? Are you trying to decide between a new 2.0 and a used SS?
