Get the EVO man... I love subies, I'm currently driving my 3rd subie and I absolutely LOVE my STi, however I have considered selling it to buy an EVO.
Back in the day I was a fan of both EVO's and WRX's (back in the late 90's when we didn't have either car) and then the Subaru 2.5RS came out in 1998, my neighbor bought one and I drooled over that car every day when I saw it pull away in the cold morning air. The car was modded and the owner is one of the first 50 members of NASIOC/i-club and introduced me to this site back in 1999).
By Jan of 2000 I was able to purchase a 2.5RS after saving for some time. I don't think I've ever been THAT happy prior or even after that moment. They delivered the car to me (bought it online) on a flat bed and the car had 7 miles on it. I was sooooo friggin happy and that's why I've become such a subaru enthusiast. That brings up something interesting however and it's this simple:
If both Subaru and Mitsubishi brought over the WRX and the EVO in 1998 instead of Subaru only offering a very watered down N/A version of the WRX (The 2.5RS), I would have bought the EVO over the Subaru option. My wife gets pissed when I tell her that I want an EVO as my next car... She feels like I'm cheating on someone I love (her words).
Both cars are great but the EVO is more fun to drive, simple as that. It's tighter, more agile/stiff, and has little to no turbo lag (like the STi). The EVO is more of a performance car than the Subaru, but because of that you lose a lot when you get an EVO. The Subaru is much more comfortable inside with better quality interior, etc... It also rides a bit smoother than the super stiff EVO, so it's a trade off.
To sum it all up, I care more about performance than I do about interior quality and comfort. I don't drive around to be comfortable, I drive around to put a huge grin on my face from turbo intoxication, and that's why I'd get the EVO over the WRX (or even STi).
