Unless your car is a mk1 it will have a 6 stud downpipe, a quick way to check is to the pipe coming out of the cat, if it is straight you have a mk1 so a 4 stud manifold, a 90' bend before the flange and it should be a 6 stud version.
If you replace the manifold and downpipe together, then you can fit the 6 bolt.
The 6 bolt version is much better. It is more secure and less likely to " blow ". This is common on the 4 bolt version. Fitting the manifold and down pipe isn't much more than fitting just the downpipe. There is supposed to be a power advantage to the 421 pipe but they are costly.

Mine is the 4 bolt version and looks like the standard fitment as far as I can tell.
Is there a significant advantage to fitting the 6 bolt version? I'm assuming removing the manifold makes the job that much more complicated, though it has been off recently so the bolts should come undone fairly easily.
If I do opt for replacing both the manifold and downpipe, any suggestions as to which one to buy? Given David's comments on the Toyo (which I was thinking about) what other options are there other than standard issue? Would there be a cost effective power increase in fitting a proper 4-2-1 system for example?
