It's a throw away part so the dealer is going to change it every time.

Should I oil change at dealership or third party shop?

You can buy a metal oil pan with a metal drain plug that doesn't need to be changed every oil change.

USPMotorsports.com has them on sale I believe right now. I picked up mine there.
Still debating about picking up an OEM pan seal or just using the gasket sealer.

They also have a lighter aluminum version if you're concerned about weight.

You can order one online shipped to Canada. You don't need it though.

True, unless you've had an issue - or plan to lightly off road the vehicle like I do, it just adds weight. Most people who do not lower or modify their car don't see issues with cracked oil pans. Not to say it doesn't happen, it's just generally lowered cars or something along those lines.

I have a 1.8T GSW, and I read you have a 1.8T Golf earlier in the thread. The pan is generic across 1.8T and I think even 2.0T fitment.

"If your factory oil pan is not equipped with an oil level sensor in the center please order the block off plate available here"
It also states that from website you linked i wouldnt know whether its sensored or not

You get your oil changed once a year approximately right? And you want to spend $60 for the pan and then probably $200 to have it installed to avoid spending $10 on an oil pan drain plug. So if you keep your car for about 25 years you'll finally break even on your investment.
Oh and if not properly installed steel oil pans are prone to leaking.
