What engine etc - when you fit the brace try to remember to use new bolts - they are very cheap and you would just buy/order them from the Seat dealer when you order in your brace - if you don't you might end up as some other people have - running around with only a couple of bolts holding the top mount to the car - spray the exposed ends of these bolts before removing them to avoid shearing them off in the top mounts.

i have had both, and the seat sport one is defo the one to go for, its a far stronger and more rigid part
looks better too i think
the forge one is adjustable and even all set up and adjusted correctly you can still move the bar, where the seat sport one is solid as a rock, you can move the car with it
there is also more room to get to the air box with the seat sport one for filter changes etc
and its cheaper too,

They fit all Polo's 9N and 9N3, Ibiza 6L and Skoda Fabias 6Y 
(Except 9N3 GTI due to the engine cover's shape).
Regards.

Believed there was also an issue with the FSI engined 9n's (probably 9n3's too) due to where the ECU was located on them.
