Good advice Ian I would have gone with audi for my gearbox if it had been the box its self but mine was the TC and as mine has 950 mn torque, I had the uprated TC already waiting to be fitted so I had everything replaced to minimise the risk factor of it happening again. Chester Automotive are very comperdant though.
As you say if its a standard car and a keeper and you are willing to spend the money I would go with Audi as the 2 yr warranty is well worth it.
However as Ian says A8 parts are worth a phone call too as they could have a low milage box on the shelf and that could be a cost effective alternative.
Tintin good luck with what ever you decide though.
