Best Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 v2 Family CPU to get (alien.top)

So I've managed to find a storage server with 12x 3.5' bays for cheap.

Currently it comes with this board Intel Server Board S2600GL and a single Xeon E5-2603 I saw these generation CPUs are quite cheap at the moment and would like to upgrade this with a better one. Link to motherboard

Should I go for one with a newer release date but with lower base clock speeds or should I go for an older one with higher base clock speeds. Link to processors

Also is it worth filling both sockets on the board? (First time getting a Xeon system)

Use case for this:

Open Media Vault
- Disk setup: MergerFS and SnapRaid
- A few docker containers
Minecraft server OR ARK server (not at the same time)
Might move my PFSense onto this machine as well

2667v2 and the 2697/2696v2 are really tops for this generation.
