I would definately go for the VR6. I own a jetta VR6 and my friend has a 1.8T. He has had more problems with his coilpacks (VW is notorius for these) than anything. Only thing I have had to do to my VR6 in the last 40k miles or so is regular maintenance and change one MAF (Mass Air Flow).
As far as speed.......We raced from a dead stop and his 1.8 has a slight edge from the line, but my VR6 has more overall top end speed. I've driven his 1.8T and would have to say that I would rather have the VR6. I know this is a jetta, but the Golf isn't that much different! Just make sure you have the $$$ if anything breaks cus everything on those cars are expensive as hell!
