Not identical, despite nearly identical 0-60s times. The bigger turbo on the STI is a big reason for this.
I would also lean towards the WRX though, unless the track or simply having the "most badass" road-gripping car is important, but the ride sacrifices, mileage and premium price may not be worth it.
After owning the WRX wagon, I'd definitely go for the STI hatch, again, much more practical than the sedan. I think the STI hatch at least looks like a "cool hatch" while the STI sedan looks like: "what is this supposed to be?".

that was the biggest thing I noticed, I've driven both the STI and WRX 5 door. The ride is a lot more firm on the STI but it does have a bit more power...... but for the money, you could do an intake and exhaust and have nearly the same power, if not more.... and still have the better ride quality of the WRX.
