If you've my skill level at modelling and painting - go for prebuilt and prepainted. If you've got a left and a right hand you may want to give it a try with un-built. Only you can answer that question though. :)

It is also a question of time and money. Which do you have more easily available for games? The last and most likely definitive question would be, are you going to only play Sails of Glory, or do you plan on playing other sailing games? If the former, then you will need to buy the Sails of Glory ships anyways to get all the other components to play, so it does not make sense to buy other ships and have to build and paint them. And with very little modification (cutting the peg off and gluing on a magnet system), you could use these minis in the other naval games with out much issue.
