In the case of the Baselards, the FA Girl version has much nicer-feeling plastic with a tighter fit to everything, while FA Baselard's armor is a little loose by comparison to newer FAs like Ji-Dao, and you can tell the plastic is of an older and lower-quality type.
FAG Gourai is the big exception, since as the first of her line her quality is very poor. Stylet is also somewhat unimpressive, sharing a lot of Gourai's flaws with minor improvements. Architect and Materia are the big leaps forward for the line, so if you're not especially into either of the first two I would wait for improved versions to come out in the future.
