I think the buy-3LT-for-resale argument is exactly wrong. Options always depreciate faster and further than the base car does.
And consider that while a 5-year-old C6 will still be a pretty modern car, its 5-year-old navigation system (for those who opt for the Nav package) will be positively ancient. In 10 years, it will likely detract from the resale value!
I think the best strategy is to buy the car you want today.

I enjoy my 2LT. Too me the 3LT items are neat but don't make it a better sports car. Plus the Bose stereo sucks. The 2LT stereo actually sounds better and it's easier to do simple upgrades.
I paid $44,600 for my 2LT w/ Z51 brand new.

If HUD and Nav are not needed, 2LT is the way to go ... I personally am a gadget freak ... so 3LT is for me ... I like Nav + HUD ... plus with my GMID discount, they end up costing a lot less.

Maybe the fact that my 05 was a total lemon is scaring me a bit, too. It's all the more stuff that will break and keep the car in the shop if I get my third Corvette lemon in a row.

all the other items are just a bonus. My wife loves the heated seats because it feels good on her sore back.
