Which hotel to stay at is a very personal choice. We personally like Port Orleans Riverside but can only stay there if we catch a discouont or other deal. Look around the resort board and find out which style of hotel you'd like, and then book as soon as you can! If Disney releases some sort of deal for Oct you can call back and apply the code to your reservation and get your money back if you've already paid it off. Just keep checking the DIS because you never know when there'll be a discount code but the DIS will.
