The new Gruppe-s GT30 turbo kit looks very nice.

You won't see a low 12 second pass on a vf30/34 unless you are using nitrous. Looking more along the lines of a mid 12 second pass on race gas and high 12's on pump gas.

You can run traps of 110-112 with VF30/34 on race gas quite easily. Just takes a custom tune, a cat-less exhaust, injectors and a fuel pump. Depending on track and driving, it could be good for low to mid 12s ET. We've run 50-trim T3/T4s on EJ20s before (our old Stg 3 kit) and while they do make power, they do induce 500-1000rpm more lag than the VF30/34. We currently run GT30s on our EVOs and they see full boost by 4000rpm. On a WRX, it'll hit full boost around 4500rpm which may or may not be responsive enough for most drivers.

I think stage kits is all a matter of preference. Of course, some may develop more power than others, etc. However, overall it's what the buyer wants to have. There's so many to choose from, it's by consumer priority.
I, personally, like the Vishnu stage kits. That's just me though.

Go with the third cat eliminator or high-flow catalytic converter, full exhaust, ecu reflash, and high-flow air filter. You'll get at least 40hp more at the wheels and keep your warranty, but be warned other parts on the car will start to break if you make that much or more power, i.e. clutch, transmission, axles, brakes won't be powerful enough for your newly found thrust. Enjoy

I would go with the vf34 setup and the dual map option as Shiv mentioned above (Xede or EcuTek) as it's nice to have the ability to make use of gas other than the water we pump and for a daily driven street WRX the vf34 certainly fits the bill as a mid 12's capable unit in the right hands.

You can get the VF34 kit from http://www.gruppe-s.com/index.htm
They can tune it with EcuTek as well.
