OBD11.....
Carista is quite basic I believe, only simple on off switch for things, OBD11 has full VCDS like capability and more.
I used to use VCDS, but actually prefer OBD11 now and sold my VCDS cable. Like I say, it does more, plus it just connects to your phone via bluetooth so I have it with me all the time, no carting around a laptop and trailing cable

It's worth buying a cheap android tablet/phone for using OBDeleven, still be cheaper than full VCDS.
As mentioned earlier though, VCDS LITE (Free download, just needs a £6 ebay cable) will work on an earlier TT.(mk4 platform) for advanced measuring blocks and features you will need to buy a Ross-Tech license. Used to be $99
It's all I used on previous VAG stuff, but I bought OBDeleven when I got the Edition 30 as VCDS lite doesn't work on the mk5 platform.
