Either way is fine by me, each in essence wishes good, for somebody or upon them.

Well if I had to choose I would say ''Good for you'' sounds more correct.
Having said that Americans have a tad murdered the English language...lol...When they speak.
Really, it is a pet-hate of mine.

I think both are correct, it's just a regional thing.

You know I've never given this much thought, but I've used "Good for you" when something positive has happened to somebody, and "Good on you" when somebody has achieved or done something worthwhile.
