Money is key to buying either one.

The more money a person has to spend, the more the person usually wants to spend.

Buy the one you can afford to buy.

And enjoy.

Default Challenger srt8 or r/t

I'm stuck between a 2009 challenger srt8 30000 miles or a 2012 R/T 39000 miles, to me the main difference is the stt8 has more hp less miles but cost 5000 more than the R/T not to concerned about price
Minor differences is the srt8 has a sunroof (no big deal) booth have leather seats.
I would like to know which would benefit me more in the long run. Thanks

Both have high mileage.

Which ever one you choose to buy, be sure to have it checked out by a competent mechanic that you trust.

And I do mean have everything checked.

30,000 for a 2009 or 39,000 for a 2012 is high mileage?

To me it is.

To each of his or her own set of standards when buying anything, new or used.

That is barely broken in for either of them.
