They both look the nutz. (And .... Jeez have i owned some great looking cars ! )
If you need to do tip runs or have a dog - get a hatch. If you don't - pick the one you like best.
Not rocket science but between you and Phate - the pair of you need to man up - stop gassing about it and just bloody buy one !

i like the saloon better (hence how i bought one) think the back looks better being longer, as said hatch is probably more practical with the bigger opening but saloons boot is cavernous, and had a lot of stuff in my car in the past and its been fine, id wait till the right one comes up as they always do, just before i passed my test said i wanted a zs 1.6, mk2, with the full kit, grey matrix seat, saloon with the big spoiler and the 11 spokes, and the next day one got traded in at work was mega pleased lol

You could buy my zs, it's a wonderfully practical hatch. No matter how big a boot a saloon has, a hatch is always more practical. The looks thing is subjective, I started out similar to you looking for a saloon but a hatch came up at the right money in the right spec and now I prefer the hatch for looks and practicality. I'm close to you too!
PM me and I'll send you up to date pics if you're interested

You can fit a full size washing machine in a hatch back without even removing the shelf! Me and my mate were amazed!

Def get a saloon if you can. I had a hatch before and now have the saloon. So much better to drive. I have 2 kids and the boot is more than big enough.

Does the hatch have a proper centre seatbelt? I remember seeing a few 5 door 45s that had lap belts
