Which one would you recommend and why?

It's illegal to remove a DPF, though the EC regulations on this are not yet enforced in the UK. I think the Lancer diesel has a VAG diesel engine and if so it might have the injector problem these have been suffering from. You might be best off with the E90 BMW 320d.
