Which is a better engine, Inline 6 or V8?

Hi All
Let just say, if you're going to buy a 2006 GS or newer, would you rather settle for a V6 or a V8. I know there are quite a few Die Hard V8 Fans in here. Please input from past experience. The 3rd Gen. GS is calling my name.

Once I am through with my 2nd Gen. GS, I will have the caster/trailing arms on the alter.

(P.S. I have this post on the 3rd Gen. forum as well, Just gathering information)
Thank all.

In your title you stated inline 6. Should just ask 3rd gen, not us 2nd gen peeps

But if I was moving towards a 3gs, the v8 of course. I'm pretty sure mileage is somewhat the same with more horsepower.
