I destroyed the oil pan on my mk4 vr6 on a seasonal road one time. Swapped over to a steel mk3 pan, best decision ever.
Pros: best decision ever

I'm running a MK5 oil pan and it helps a little bit with clearance but yeah you can run the shorter oil pan no issues that I've heard just $$$$ for the pan.
Pros: helps with clearance
Cons: expensive pan
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Worst part is the plastic oil pans, I guess VW didn't put 2 and 2 together with all of their other plastic parts failing miserably...
Cons: plastic parts failing
The mk4 aluminum oil pan has a better oil distribution baffling blah stuff. the steel ones dont. However, comma, if you are low and scrape a lot then I wouldnt recommend the aluminum ones. Steel is a lot sturdier. Just get whatevers available imo.
Pros: better oil distribution
Cons: less sturdy, scrapes easily
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Okay so I removed the oil pan and it took me about an hour, thanx to not having the right tools. Man does that engine surprise the phuck out of me. 200,000 miles and almost no gunk or nothing on the rods and crank and other stuff.
Pros: little gunk, clean engine
Cons: wrong tools
