Prefer the saloon, looks wise, but for practicality the hatch is probably the better option (though the saloon has a huge boot and folding rear seat - opening between boot and passenger compartment is only narrow though).

One major advantage of the hatch is the rear wash/wipe, though at speed, with the application of RainX, the rear window stays clear on the saloon - just a pain at slow speeds when its peeing down.

Other than that it's down to personal taste, theres some suggestions that the saloon is heavier but cannot see there is that much difference - there must be quite a weighty framework around hatch aperture which must more than equal the weight of the extra length of the saloon.
