My previous car was an FC and they are freaking awesome cars! But I would choose the miata, the parts for the rx7 are ridiculously hard to find and they are just a headache when something breaks on them.
But my opinion
If you want something fun to drive, get the rx7
If you want something that will last and will be worth the investment, get the miata

I think you'll grow really attached to the Miata. I certainly have become attached to mine. I'm in the same age group as you and your friends will give you a bunch of crap for the car, but you get used to it. The car is seriously fun, and every possible problem has been documented on Miata.net. Insurance is cheap, parts are cheap, it's good on gas. It's not necessarily the largest car but you've already said that's not a problem.
I'm slightly biased but for me it's Miata, no question.
Edit: There's also a lot you can do to tweak the looks a little bit. Certain things make the car really standout. I prefer the NB for looks, but the NA definitely is a looker with the right stuff.

Rx7's are cool in their own right but, for a DD I would put reliability above all else. Great cars with great aftermarket support and a huge and very helpful and knowledeable community.
Hell, I'm actually looking for a NA myself to share space with my s2000. I want to use it as a learning experience at track days and feel more comfortable with pushing my s2000 the way it was meant to. (How many of us have dumpt 10's of thousands if not more to only be scared something will happen to it? I know I'm guilty)
And when you graduate college you will most likely look at a diff platform entirely. When I was in college I was looking at 1jz's to transplant into my sc300 now, I'm on autotrader looking at c6z's.
I say go to miata.net, print out the inspection checklist and comb over the yellow with the hardtop.

I would buy that FC so fast if it was in the area. But only as a second car. It looks outrageously clean for an FC, and one that's spent its life in Canada.. that's crazy clean.
I think the FC is the cooler car and the NA is the smarter car. Right now the vote is split half and half, and we can't make his decision for you. Good luck!

I actually am gonna go with the rx7, but I have another 500 bucks to save up. If he sells it by the time I have the 500 I'll get the Miata. If it's still for sale I'm picking up the rx7

What's a positive side of buying one with a rebuilt engine? Surely it would have to be rebuilt again in another 100-160000 miles.
