The 3.0 Supercharged engine is super sweet and plenty fast. 7 speed S Tronic is VERY nice too. I've driven the V8 with a 6 speed, and they're MUCH more thirsty. Obviously the 2.0T would be more economical, and would be my choice over the 3.2 naturally aspirated V6.

Like gd10 mentioned, the supercharged V6 comes as a 2012 model and will be available likely around July/August 2011. So, if you can wait a little over a year, that would be the way I would go.
Between the V6 and 2.0T, if you don't mind mildly modding your cars, you could install an APR or GIAC chip into the 2.0T which will bump up the performance to essentially match the 3.2 V6. If you're comfortable with a chip (which is VERY reliable), than this is the route you should go.
In the end, you should make sure to get all the features you want and the exact color combo you want. If you don't get something you want, you'll likely regret it after a few months.
