Which engine for a recent Audi TT?

I`m on the point of buying a nearly new Audi TT coupe , but cant decide bewteen a 2.0 TFSI sport or the TDI quattro sport . Which is going to be the most reliable over 5 or 6 years . Does either have a chain cam engine ? Living in the Pennines, 4WD might be the advantage that swings it. Which would you recommend ?
