Strut bars IMO are all the same as they don't do much for the suspension. The reasoning behind is (I think) is that most the lateral force is exhibited in lower positions of the car. So when you think of a car turning, it's the sections of the car lower down that twist more. I think with strut bars it's basically down to what you like the look of best.
As for sway bars, I've heard the ones made by Shine are the best for the Golf platform, though it's American-based and so must be quite costly to get down to Australia.
