MkIV 2.0 auto trans starter. Bolts right up to an 020. Spins the engine faster than the original did. And, it's smaller and lighter, too. I put one in my Scirocco a few years ago, when I replaced the trans & clutch.
Pros: smaller, lighter, spins faster
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
GERMAN AUTO PARTS got me a brand new Valeo starter for $200....just fyi for anyone who needs to buy a starter.
Pros: new Valeo starter
Cons: potential starter issue

Can confirm Mk3 starters work on Mk1s as long as it's a manual Mk1, have had one on for years, have seen it done on several Mk1s.
Pros: lighter, quieter
Cons: pisses off purists
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
So I picked up the MK4 unit. It sounds different than the old unit. From what I read it's got gear reduction in it. Car starts fine. Glad to have some new tech in this old car, and it's funny, the MK1 unit has a 1 year warranty while the MK4 unit is lifetime. Put another check in the pro column for the MK4 unit!
Pros: lifetime warranty, car starts fine
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
How much more effective is the gear reduction starter compared to using a MK3 starter? I'm running a mk3 8v starter in my '80 scirocco and absolutely love it. Much more effective.
Pros: much more effective
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
I had the day off today so I went ahead and put a new starter in, the old one was ghastly, and it still wont even turn over!?
Pros: new starter installed
Cons: did not fix issue
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
