Right, I've had a 106 GTI and driven a few 6's and Rallyes so I feel qualified for this one.
I'd say the 106 is a better handler by miles, it turns in so sharply and feels really light and neutral in a bend it's unreal, better than a 306 or 205, lift off oversteer is there but only if you provoke it, and the steering is a delight. Engine is mega revvy and goes mental at 4k, sounds brilliant with pops and bangs on a standard exhaust, and on a run to Cornwall I got 48mpg, plus with one less gear change it will match a '6 to 65mph, its a better car in my opinion I have to be honest, although its cramped if you have size 12s like me and built even cheaper than a 306.
My recommendation? Neither, a Saxo VTS. Same as a 106 GTI but half price
