Like clang, I have a gen 3 G19. I haven't had mine as long as he has, but in the couple of thousand rounds I have put through it, it has never missed a beat. I actually like the grip on it and I see no reason for me to ever have to buy another.
I would say to get whatever one you can swing the best deal on.

I bought my Glock 19 before there were generations. I works as well as the day I bought it. I have about 4 trillion rounds through it. (just kidding), but I have a lot. I guess any gen is good. I hope you find the one you want but don't see how you can go wrong with a Glock 19
Glock didn't really acknowledge what the consumers considered generations until the Gen 4 Release. So technically I would say "before there were generations" is anything Gen 1 - Gen 3.

And remember, finishes and metal treatments are two different things.
The black you see is not the metal treatment.
Glock went from salt bath nitrocarborizing to gaseous nitrocarborizing. Previous Tenifer (Walther), Melonite (QP) (S&W), Ferritic nitrocarburizing, properitary formulas are probably better.

This is my Gen 5 slide after 5k rounds and hundreds of presentations from a kydex holster (JM Custom Kydex and Bravo Concealment). I don't think it's as durable as the old frying pan finish on earlier Gen 3s, but it's been far more durable than the Gen 4 finishes I've had experience with. The only visible wear is the front left corner, which comes into contact with the holster the most.
