I find that (other things being equal) the top floor apartments in a development tend to be the most desirable, followed by the ground floor, then the others. For this reason you usually find that the top floor will be the most expensive and the middle floor(s) the least expensive.
I agree with the points expressed by camel with three humps regarding the attractiveness of top-floor apartments, although I would point out that if the rooftop is a communal sun-terrace, it could be pretty noisy residing directly below it!
Like Mr Ri says, you should consider a range of factors to help you to decide - and I would say consideration of selling price, maintenance charges, potential rentability, resale potential, views, whether ground floor apartments have private gardens, whether or not there are lifts, will the roof be used (e.g. a pool/solarium) top my list.
But if you want a quick answer I'd say, if you get a view, go for the top!
Good luck!
