Default B6 FWD or AWD??

I'm looking into getting a B6 A4 in the next few months. I will be using it as a daily driver and for work. I think I would rather have the AWD for handling purposes but still want something reliable and easy to fix if needed. I use to be a mechanic so I can pretty much fix anything. I never owned an Audi before so I'm not sure of any problems they tend to have with the AWD or the FWD. I would appreciate an help you can give me. By the way I will definately be putting upgrades on the 1.8T motor too.

I live in Florida so the need of AWD isn't really necessary but I usually see 02 or 03 AWD's selling for around $15K

If your gonna mod it get AWD so you wont have to much wheel spin. Like if you got Big turbo then AWD but the FWD is probly best for stock turbos or K04s ne thing else your just gonna have alot of wheel spin.
