Welcome to the Club.
The choice depends on what you need. How old are you? Do you need to transport family often?
The LS430 is the roomiest and most comfortable, but the slowest and least sporty of the three. It's a gas guzzler, but insurance is not that expensive.
The G35 on the opposite end is the smallest and most enthusiastic to drive. It can be thirsty depending on how you drive, and insurance can be a bit more expensive due to the market population it serves.
The GS350 is a good compromise between the two. Roomy and sporty, modern, and relatively easy to modify for better performance. The V6 is advanced. Insurance is probably the cheapest of the three.

For me the GS continues to be a great fit thus I recommend it.

GS350 is a good all around value. It gets great gas mileage (I got 29mpg at best on the highway), it has plenty of room and it's fast. It's as fast if not faster than the LS and G35.

I would say the GS 350 because it is simply the best blend of the G35 and the LS430. I had a G35 before my GS and I will tell you you will have more issues with it than a Lexus. Once my G35 got over 120k window motors and seat motors went out. I had a blown injector ,ABS/VDC issues, brakes that wear out every 16k, and a CD player was replaced under warranty 6 times ( yes...6 times and they lost 6 CDs). The worst thing I have had to deal with in my Lexus is the dash rattle (3 times ) and a broken hood release lever.
The GS has the higher end Lexus feel and tomb quiet ride with retaining some driving pleasure. The LS430 is probably going to be the most reliable but will not really feel very involved to drive. Numb is an understatement but thats what you want in a high end luxury cruiser.
