I did the DW over the DWF because of the G-Sync Ultimate module. The DWF does have better input latency than the DW on paper, but I havent used a DWF so I can't comment on how it feels vs the DW. The DW latency feels good to me, and I was coming from a Dell S2721DGF which I think has similar latency to the DWF.
At $800 this is pretty awesome, though.
EDIT: There is a major difference in how you update the firmware of the monitors:
DWF firmware can be updated via a software download from the manufacturers website
DW supposedly needs to be physically shipped back to Dell to update it there, and wait for its return. Purchased my DW in Sept. 2023, Firmware version I have is M0B204.

Also is it better to wait for the G-Sync model to go on sale over this one? (any pros or cons)

but you will still need to ship it out if you don't have the latest or want to upgrade in the future
and the integrated fan is louder in the gsync version
hence to why the freesync version is considered by many to be much better
