H6 is tried and true. Very reliable and easy to work on. One of the most harmonically balanced motors, making it extremely smooth with power delivery and quietness.

New flat 4-turbo - more efficient, slightly more power, but has not been time-tested for reliability. Also more to go wrong since you have a turbo.

That being said, I'm happy I have the 3.6r H6.
