The only thing is that the STi has less parts availible (at least right now) so you would most likely pay more for that power. WRX has tons of parts availible so it wont be quite as expensive though if I were in your shoes I would buy the STi if i planned to mod it as you do.

One important thing to remember is that the EJ25T may not have support from Japanese parts manufacturers unless a Japanese variant is released (and no, the Legacy B4 doesn't count 
). This may not necessarily be such an important point though; it depends on what you like. Also, the EJ20 is more "authentic" since it meets WRC standard regulations for forced induction engines.

But if WRC spec matters to you more over overall potential please by all means....

Comparing STi EJ25 and non-STi EJ20 is silly. Of course AS IS, EJ25 is better. However, if you talk upgradability, EJ20 is better. And, if you were to compare STi EJ20 with STi EJ25, thats a whole diff story.
