Buying a new Skoda Fabia - should I choose petrol or diesel?

I'm looking to buy new Skoda Fabia with DSG 'box, but the dilemma is diesel or petrol?

Well, I wouldn't buy a DSG for a start. Too much trouble. The new 3 cylinder 1.4TDI in the new Fabia was okay, but the 1.2 TSI 90 or 110 seem to be the best engines.
