If you're looking at the Eurospec rods....
I'd go with the 600 gram rods vs the 475g, as you really don't know how they were lightened. Plus the 600g rods use 3/8" bolts vs. the 5/16" bolts on the 475g rods.
If you can afford it, go with Carrillo rods. Pauter rods also have a good rep with the VW crowd.
And yes, 144mm rods are the ones to get, unless you have an ABA block like I do
