Which Audi A4 diesel engine?

I'm looking to buy a an Audi A4 S-line (B7). Is it best to go for the 1.9 TDI or the 2.0 TDI? I've noticed you can get both engines on the B7.

I've read comments on problems with the 2.0 TDI, but not much feedback on the 1.9 TDI. Is there a certain era of A4 B7 that are best to buy, certain mileage, etc?

Currently I drive a 2003 Golf GT TDI 130. Great reliability and economy, so I'm looking for something similar, but 4 or 5 door to suit a family.

The 1.9TDI is less powerful but has proved to be more reliable and more economical.
