Default Garrett 57 trim .63ar vs Borg Warner 57 trim .55ar on stock B18B1

I am trying to make my decision between a Garrett 57 trim w/ .63ar or a Borg warner .55ar, I am going to be running it on a completely stock B18B1 at about 10 psi. My goals are around 200-250hp I was wondering if the Borg warner will spool up faster than the Garrett. I tried looking for people running the borg warner turbo but i couldnt find much about it. I was planning on wither getting a Garrett 57 trim w/ .48 a/r or .63a/r but now that i found the borg warner w/ .55a/r it seems like it might be a good option. pretty much i'm looking for the most perfect turbo for my set up.

im not going to make 250 hp with a b18b all motor for the price of a full turbo setup. I am looking for a somewhat relieble street car and go bigger later on. I dont want to do a swap either.

In this case, I would use the Garrett 50 trim, not even the 57 trim turbocharger, reason being that the BW unit uses a much larger exhaust wheel than the Garrett model. Especially for those goals. If your budget can afford a little more the GT3251 could work as well.
