Since i'm gonna be driving it aswell, i think you should go with the V-mount. i like the 
and the no-big-intercooler-in-the-front-look so it looks like a sleeper
If you have the money, go with teh VMount.
IF not, a FMIC is just as good...
Vmount seems like a new trend these days

Damn, I don't know. FMIC, major intimidation!! VMIC, makes you lightheaded when you pop the hood, that is the hot **** there!! I can't imagine there would be that much of a difference between the two performance wise. If I had unlimited funds, I would go Monster V-mount from Rotary Extreme. And if you still like how the FMICs look you can get the twin Monster Oil coolers. With the right front bumper that would look rediculous!! Kinda like my avatar!!

from what i hear front mounts cause more problems dont they. they block air from getting to the radiator. never had one but this is what ive heard.
That seems to be the minority though..

I don't think the benefits outweight the cost. A car with a front mount and properly ducted upgraded radiator should not overheat. That and no matter what you do, any intecooler in the engine bay is going to heat soak.
