raceland is ok but not as good as some out there, supersprint are meant to be good and i think the cit tuning one is too but thats really expensive
the raceland is about 120 in the group buy on kam racing

Downside of the raceland is that you have to play with the oil filter and filter thread on the Mk2.
On the plus side they do give performance gains throughtout the rev range and are very cost effective.

not a big hassle.
You don't need to move anything.. just replace that oil filter and thread.
Some people spent loads of money on relocating the oil filter elsewhere in the engine bay but thats not needed.

In the 4-2-1 setup you got quite a choice really
Sportex - Mild Steel - £130
RaceLand - Stanless Steel - £140
Janspeed - Mild Steel - £200
Miltek - Stainless Steel - £not sure
Cituning - Stainless Steel - £not sure
SuperSprint - Stainless Steel - £299
Prices are ruff but around that kinda money and are fuffly in order of price.
If you changed to 4-1 then your limited to
GMC £250
Piper £290
again not 100% sure but around them kinda prices
I had a Janspeed item but cracked it on a Massive Speed bump so Ive got a Piper item waiting in the bedroom to be fitted
