My DW and I stayed in Acadian House in January and really enjoyed it. The mansions (and AB) have been recently renovated but I don't know if the rooms are identical in all of the buildings. The exteriors of the mansions are all a little different. As far as which one to stay in, check out this map to see where you would like to be in relationship to the rest of the resort. (Of course, there are no guarantees but it doesn't hurt to request something when making your ressies.) POR Map (formerly Dixie Landings)
I've stayed in each of the mansions, 5 different trips there, and my favorite is Magnolia Terrace, I think it's called, with the lovely gazebo in front by the river. Also, I think that's the one closest to the food court side of the main building. But you're right-they're pretty much all the same, not that much different inside.
