Pros for the STi (assumptions, I haven't driven one yet, only a '15 WRX):
- quieter (more sound deadening);
- less rattles;
- 4 doors;
- more room;
- more practical (can fit a child seat in the back);
- more torque/power;
- stock stereo is not as crappy.
Cons:
- turbo lag;
- it's not RWD;
- I'm guessing it's not as fun in the twisties.
I want an STi but I loooove my BRZ. They need to come out with a turbo Impreza wagon again so I can trade in the '14 Impreza.

As an owner of a '15 WRX and have extensively driven an STi, I can tell you that rattles are on par or more compared to my BRZ. Its all part of Subaru ownership haha. Since you have a kid, I would recommend the WRX over the STi as the ride quality is very harsh for daily driving; the car was designed for track and it really shows when you drive it on normal roads.
