Which RCF would you end up with and why?
I have the 2015 on hold but I still can buy either one just don't know what's the right answer. 2015 RCF 9000 miles CPO 3 1/2 years of bumper-to-bumper warranty on the CPO $54,000. The other choice 2016 RCF 2000 miles CPO five years of bumper-to-bumper warranty on the CPO $59,000, both have everything but the performance package. Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to provide me.
PS - I drive about 10 to 12,000 miles a year if that makes any difference.

^^^^ ditto but that said, I see you are located in TX and I have read in the GSF forum that for some reason, TX was not playing too nice with the steep discounts like other states.

Not sure if this matters, but you're much closer to needing new tires on the one with 9k miles. If you're going to put good looking rims on it, then you'd be buying new rubber anyway. The later model year may eventually have more residual value to offset that price difference as well. Speaking for myself, the performance package was worth it. As the others mentioned, a leftover 2016 would have a hefty discount from a dealer - or even waiting for the 2018s to show up in 3 months and grab a leftover 2017 model year. But seriously, you'll be happy driving one no matter which it is.

I would probably get a new one in your case, I don't see these used prices going much lower yet. I had the choice to get a 2016 for 60k @ 74k msrp but I didn't want to commit to white (only choice left near me) so if color isn't an issue consider that.
Although I ended up with a cpo '15 with a performance package at 55k w/ 7k miles. Keep in mind iirc the 16/17 models have adaptive suspension over the 15. I don't regret my choice since gray/red combo was a unicorn at the time so if you're content with the vehicle condition go for it, the Lexus CPO program is great. Without getting too technical on value, the cpo warranty and performance package is an amazing value at 55k at the right color. USB would've even made it sweeter for me. TLDR idc if someone makes a case that a new one is in better equity than a CPO, at the end of the day I'd regret paying more for a new one at the wrong color and no packages. In your options you don't indicate that those used options have an advantage over a new one so unless you feel the same way I feel about my purchase, go new.

I put IIRC cuz I really can't recall. I only have a gut feeling that I missed out on the adaptive suspension because I went with a 15 not a 16 but if only the 17s have it I feel even better not having a 16 lol.

Go with a 2016, and a new one. I didn't want a 2015. Of course, there are exceptions but first model years aren't suggested. Subsequent model years are as time is given for kinks/problem areas to be worked out.
