For me, best chance is a Shadow on the basis that it is an authentic Panerai product, and a prototype with distinctive features not duplicated in subsequent issues e.g. if there is a 203 'Shadow' out there that is 44mm with painted dial... I will sure go for it.
To me, OOR's no big deal e.g. so what if you have #1939 or 1940 of the SE 232, whose official run is 1938 pieces? Is #1939 or 1940 any different from any of the #1 to #1938 232? As to a Ghost, say the Pam 237 that has a run of 400 pieces that somehow did not made it to the official catelogue, I don't see why I would be paying a premium for it.
As some of the members have already pointed out, OOR vs Shadow vs Ghost vs Lucky Serial No vs Funky Nickname vs whatever, is really a distraction, the main thing is to grab the watch you love (whether Pam or something else). If you don't love it, you will not wear it, and your watch will be but a expensive display piece.
Have fun!
