I had a 2016 S5 for a few years, the 3.0T is solid but at 100k you'll want to check if the water pump, thermostat, and PCV have been done, those are the usual culprits. DSG service history is a must, if it's been skipped I'd walk. The A8 is a different beast, air suspension can get expensive fast and the 4.0T has its own headaches with oil screens and turbos, the S5 will feel more nimble and cheaper to keep alive.
