Hiya
Very reliable - 6 speed unless you go for one of the very newest, which are 7 like the s-tronics in the S4. They're smoother to drive in the Mk7 Golf compared to the B8/8.5 platform A/S4 as I think they've got the software more resolved.
Personally I'd only buy an auto - it just lends itself to stop-start and town driving. The 6 speed auto pulls very sensible revs on the motorway on these later cars. We test drove a previous generation S3 Sportback and that seemed too rev-happy on the motorway, but that won't be an issue if looking at later shape as you are.
Re Golf vs A/S3 I actually prefer the Golf to look at. Just seems better resolved. Standard spec kit is better on the Golf (buy a GTI and you get adaptive cruise as standard) and if you look carefully you can find some with spec on them.
