Continental O-300-D Pros/Cons

Could you please advise on the pros/cons of a Continental O-300-D with regards to running costs, carb ice problems etc when fitted to a Cessna 172G or H. I'm looking at buying a 172 for a group and am tasked with finding out the above information from those with experience, so any help would be gratefully received! How, in the real world, would such an engine compare to a later Lycoming O-320, and should we avoid the N and go for the M model instead of a G or H?


Many thanks, PP.
