I can't speak for the other cars, but I can for the LP640 Roadster. In your area, I'm assuming a coup would make a lot more sense because of the changes in weather. I've driven the LP640 from OC to Las Vegas and back without any problems with the seats. The car will work for a daily drive, however I think it takes away some of the excitement. I go between a Lexus LS460L so the contrast between my two cars couldn't be more dramatic, yet I love both. It's like the contrast between the coma ward and the psycho ward.

Because you're in Troy, weather is an issue and it's really a summer car, even though I have driven mine in the snow without any problem. As for noise, it depends on which exhaust you use. The car's standard exhaust is not that loud.

Regarding nose clearance, it's a bit misleading because you also have to consider the distance from the tires contact point to the tip of the nose grade. While it's nice to have a nose that can raise, there are moments when you still scrape because it's hard to tell the exact grade. The LP640 also has a somewhat limited turning radius and this makes it a pain to park in some tight locations, but the car typically gets a front row seat at most valet stands. I love driving my car and I never get tired of it, but I think it's because I travel a lot between OC and Seattle and the car isn't always in the same place as me. Also, the car gets a lot of attention so you have to plan accordingly.
