Is it better to get an older set of pipes or a brand new set? Unfortunetly my instructor isn't very helpful with this.

Are there years of makers which had poor quality control of their pipes?

Not trying to be an "intelligent burro" here, but how good a piper are you? Most of the pipers I've come across who really focus on antique pipes are really good pipers who have been piping for quite a while. If you don't have that solid base of knowledge, you might be better served with a new set of pipes.
