If you plan on inlet mods though I wouldn't say there was a lot in it.

just go for the the best condition you can find, its really not worth worrying about the engines imo.

Yeah plan for an inlet mod. But just need to buy a GSi first.
Just wanted to know which was the best to tune for the most power and torque.

Agree with Adam, there are bigger things to consider when you are looking for a car of that age.

as said above really, you'll get similar performance from both if your tuning. You'd be hard pushed to find a good condition low mileage c16xe (pre-ecotec) Gsi.
