I would also recommend NGK plugs, they are made in Japan and well worth the money.
Pros: well worth money, made in Japan

I made the switch to NGK over a year ago, and haven't looked back. NGK are all made in Japan, and they're more consistent. Multi-electrode plugs hold too much heat around the center electrode, which increases the probability of detonation. Gapping the plugs is also much tougher to do. The grounds can also hold more garbage and shroud the spark.
Pros: more consistent, reliable
Cons: multi-electrode issues, difficult gapping

When the heater core blew on my '91 Golf, I called VWoA and they arranged for a free goodwill replacement even though the official recall only covers up to 1990 models.

Pros: drive much better/smother

since the original pump (aged) is hardly safe over 200whp imo; esp with increased rail pressure.

Cons: hardly safe over 200whp

fast road pads like EBC Greens are actually slower to operate from cold. So much so that I nearly failed to stop for a pedestrian crossing one cold morning soon after start up. I simply wasn't expecting my pads to be so bad first thing. With the soft stock pads you get an intial bite that you don't get with fast road pads. This is a world away from the EBC Greens on 280mm brakes that used to get totally chewed up in one day at Sandown. Or the EBC Reds that disintegrated entirely.
Cons: slower to operate cold, no initial bite, chewed up on track
