whats the best??

define best?
Terms of speed and handling probably STI
In terms of Economy probably 2.0l or 1.6l
But really, the point here is, that before you decide to buy a car, you should do at least some research of what you are buying on your own. You should know what size of engine you can afford run and pay for. Having 7k right now and buying STI is not the same thing as being able to afford running it. Do you want it as Daily driver? Weekend car? Track car? Or do you want to just show off(no offence, but your ignorance of any information indicates that the most)?
Now, dont take me wrong, when I came the first time on this forum, I was just as much newb as you are and knew nothing, but before I asked, I had made my decision on buying 1.6 and stated my reasons why I wanna buy that one, then some guys here said that its wrong choice and I should buy differently. That way we can help you, but coming on forum and saying 'I want subaru, I have 7k what to buy' is kinda difficult for anyone to advise
