Understand your dilemma, but IMHO (and I've just sold my mint Mk V GTI to buy a Touareg

), I'd stay with either the GTI or R32, no question. The rest are a compromise and maybe worthy considerations but given your selection options, you are looking for a comparable car to the GTI without the theft potential. Ignore this, crime stats show very little repeat victims - don't let some scrotes spoil your life and enjoyment. Learn from the theft and take suitable precautions (CCTV should be a reassuring option).
Good luck with the decision, I wouldn't touch the original stolen/recovered/repaired car at all.
