Insuring any of those cars isn't going to be cheap, but for me, insuring an S4 was going to be insanely expensive... I've heard that S4s can be monsters when modified, but I've also heard that they go boom pretty easily. I guess that's true for any car, but that would be an expensive repair bill. I was overall very impressed with the S4 that I test drove; the shifting was smooth but the power was definitely lacking for a twin turbo setup. A friend of ours says that Audis are the poor man's Porsche. I don't know if I agree, but I'd go bigger if I was looking for a car in that luxury class.
I'd say go with a BMW of some type. My guess is that they'd be cheaper to repair (and I'll use cheaper lightly) than a Porsche, and I agree that an M3 would also be a better platform for modifying.
