Considering your location, if you're using this car in winter you may want to opt for the warmer one, better heat and efficiency..   If it's a summer driver only, or if you were way down south the cooler stat would probably be fine...

I am running a 90C (195F) T stat in the 92 Ecodiesel. On the hottest days this summer (95F or so), the temp gauge stays in the same spot which is a bit above the middle. Before I put the 90C stat in, the temp gauge was midway between the 3/4 and max mark due to a T stat that wouldn't open.
