Many insurance companies don't go by HP numbers but by engine displacement. Now that the WRX uses a 2.0L FA20DIT I wouldn't be surprised if the BRZ is more expensive to insure since it has two doors. Hell, when I was cross-shopping the 2013 BRZ and WRX hatch the BRZ was already a few bucks more per year. But, as with all things insurance YMMV.
OP, unless you feel comfortable dealing with the hassle of FI on a motor not designed for boost I would just go with a boosted car from the factory.
The pros for the BRZ for me are the seating position and overall sports car feel. The (stock) WRX was faster, no question, but the BRZ feels fast all the time whereas the WRX only felt fast when I was driving fast. Only you can decide which is worth more to you.
