Watch out for rust in the A-pillar along the edge of the windscreen, on the sunroof and under the doors, leaking rocker cover and distributor gaskets, power-steering pumps ALWAYS leak on these cars so only worry if its extreme. Other than that just look out for the typical things like odd engine noises, cv's etc.
If you dont plan on doing much 'spirited' driving then go for the ST. The motor in the ST hates to rev hard (due to different head design - redline at 5k compared to 6.5k on the SX) and the brakes are pretty average too. I doubt there's much difference in fuel consumption between the ST and SX but I suppose it comes down to the way you drive it. As said before, the ST is really a 2 door Camry... but the chicks cant tell the difference!
