My opinion will be reasonably obvious...
Volvo for the fact that they are Focus based underneath, loads of parts available... Quite easy to essentially turn it into a Focus ST AWD estate with Volvo badge with a few part changes such as ARB, suspension settings etc... The engine is pure Focus ST and will take 99% of performance upgrades that are available for them...
Saab is still a Vectra underneath which isn't as good to drive, from my experience of the ESP system in my V50 , they're never going to be massively fun towards the limit, they're weighty cars, but at 8/10ths I'd prefer the V50 for the better steer.
That's just my bias though... I also think the V50 is the better looking car...
