Just need help on deciding which ones to get...

VXR hands down
Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
Out of those 2, VXR
MY07 Golf GTI DSG
Volvo XC60 T6
Ex- 2003 Astra SRI Turbo
Budget? And don't get another Astra!
ok heres my opinion
VXR vs. Cooper S
The VXR is much nicer looking, has more power, is quicker, is bigger, is more reliable, easier to modify, cheaper to service and in general just cheaper to buy.
Also fro only my experiences driving both (haven't spent as much time in VXRs as i have the Coopers), the Cooper S suffers worse from torque steer than the VXR, almost to the point where you can just change gear to change lanes!!
If you're set on the two, buy the VXR and with the thousands you've saved on the Mini, buy some performance mods, or invest it in something worthwhile!!
Or there are many other cars in that price range to choose from!!

Second hand TT? I can vouch for them, theyre fooking awesome
out of those two Id probably go the cooper, its something different.
Although with 40ish k Id be seriously tempted to spend that little bit more and get the new megane
If it must be out of those 2, then go for whichever you prefer most...
However with that budget, you are open to so many other choices, alot of them being a new car instead of S/H...
+ 1
As stated not only the Megane, but with a little more $$ there are plenty other new car choices...
How about a new Gti Polo with change to spare
