A Range Rover Classic is almost the same underneath as a Discovery 1. The main differences of the later RRC model to the Disco 1 is the engine, and of course the body bolted to the chassis.
However, be warned that both the Discovery and Range Rover Classic can rot badly in places around the shell. Sills, wheel arches and driver's floor are common rot spots so make sure to check those areas carefully when looking at either the Discovery or Range Rover Classic.
Where as with a 90/110/130, the majority of the body is aluminium, but the bulkhead is steel and rots and so does the chassis. Discoveries and Classics tend to not rot much in the chassis in comparison to the more utilitarian models. You also get a lot more for your money with a Discovery or Range Rover Classic compared to the coil sprung utility vehicles.
Basically, if you can get a good RRC or Disco, do so. Then make sure you put plenty of protection on the steel parts of the shell that rot and the chassis, such as yearly appliance of waxoil and perhaps chassis paint too. This should slow if not stop any rot starting on the 'outside' of the vehicle where it gets the most exposure water and other corrosive materials.
The others on here can fill you in on parts that also can cause problems on either the Range Rover Classic or Discovery (such as leaky alpine windows on the Disco roof).

Whatever floats your boat :D
If it is made of steel, it rusts.
I personally wouldnt swap my 'pretty crap old rust bucket' for a Jeep [-X
All cars have their faults, Land Rover group of 4x4's can rust, so can a Jeep and Im guessing rust protection is not a priority in USA?
It's all about personal choice, as a welder I would rather it rust than anything else :)
