Self proclaimed...
SSE = electronic gizmos, neat, but not all are better performing then the SE counterparts. Will be more complicated to fix. Especially older ones. If it'* got a HUD you'll have a pricey (some are near $1000) windshield to replace etc.
SE = Better then average options compared to american sedans.
Standard suspension in the SSE has stronger Anti Roll bars, and slightly stiffer springs. The real benefit of this is the anti-roll bars. However SE bonnevilles can be equipped with the tauter suspension as options. 92 and 93 SE'* can have a higher flowing, and louder muffler that is given away by the double tail pipes on one side.
Differences aren't too huge. I'd check them out, and whatever feels best for you is the one you should get. Make sure they're in good condition first.

Ok here'* the scoop. I like the SSE but it'* in too rough shape for what I want. The body is in ok shape, the interior is pretty rough, and it'* sitting on 3 flats. I need a driver that'* a nice ride, not a bit of a project.
The same dealer had a super clean 92 SE for sale. The car is really solid and clean and It'* got 99k on the clock. They want 3,000 for it.... A bit high, I think.
I'm going to go back and look at the 95 SE on Saturday. The car is clean... I ran a Carfax report on it and I a one owner from Colorado with a clean record. The car is near perfect but I'll need a driver'* side outer tail light.(it'* broken) I'm going to post in the wanted section.

SOME 92'* had an EGR. If it has a black plastic intake manifold it does.
That'* a great deal. I paid 3,900 for my 93, granted it'* not a rental level SE, but still. It had 106 on the clock, wasn't really used in winters, and was good all over.
