This is just my personal opinion, but I would always pick an I/O over an outboard unless it was not a Mercruiser. I would probably even pick a Volvo Penta I/O over an outboard.
If I were buying one brand new I might consider an outboard but buying used it is a no brainer.
Also,outboards are too expensive, compare a 135 outboard to a 135 I/O.
Just my opinion!
