Default TJ Magna Advance vs BA Futura

Sorry if this has been posted before.

The reason why I have asked is because, Im tossing up a decision to buying a wagon but Im at 2 minds as to which brand. Now I know 95% of the people on this forum will be biased, but for those of you who aren't biased, I need your constructive advice:

A bit of background info on reasons; I need a wagon for carting a 100kg electric wheelchair in, and to carry a full car load of people often. This happens multiple times a week, and and continues to happen in all road conditions. The car will need to have excellent traffic manners, and be able to plough up a hill with ease and it not constantly wanting to kick back and forth into gears while air con is running. While I am not doing this duty, I like to drive spirited, and enjoy driving something that can hold it's own. Ultimatly, it needs to commute heavy loads without major issues, and be reliable. The 'must have' features will need to be cruise control, dual airbags, power windows & cd player, Oh and needs to be tiptronic auto.

Resale issues aside, Which one and why?
