Default what gt30 turbo to get? help me decide!

so i've been told by many that the gt30 turbo would suit my setup well, but theres a bunch of different gt30's and i dont know which one i should get.
my setup consists of:
b18c1 engine
wiseco low comp pistons
eagle rods
polished crank
ge block guard
omni power dual valve springs
3 angle valve job
arp headstuds
skunk2 cam gears
crome

this will be in my everyday car, but i will take it to the strip about once a week(hopefully!!) in the summer. so i would need good spool characteristics, but i still want to be capable of running low 11's.

the two different gt30's to choose from are:
gt3071r
gt3076r

one of the main differences i noticed was that the gt3076r was a t3 flanged turbo, which is much more compatible with my manifold options.

now theres a few different versions of the gt3071r. they can be seen at these links:
http://www.turbobygarrett.com/...3.htm
http://www.turbobygarrett.com/...0.htm

and heres the different options for the gt3076r:
http://www.turbobygarrett.com/...2.htm

i dont know which trim and a/r for which turbo would suit me best and thought you guys could help me out. i will be buying directly from garrett and just need to give them the part numbers of what i need. thats why i am referencing their website, instead of a sellers website. any help is appreciated!!!!

Id say go with the GT3076R .63 AR hotside. That should give you good spool and room to grow in terms of power. This is a 400-500whp turbo at its limits. You'll get 550whp outta the .82 AR if you max it.

Check out this thread:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1513064

in it you will see DontBlink's dyno plot (its pimp) and you can also check out Andrea's plot a well, but she's using the .82 AR. Both comment on their turbos and seem happy with them. The rest is up to you.

As for the GT3071, i dont deal with 5 bolt t25 turbines bro....and from your setup and supporting mods, you should'nt either. You in the big leagues now baby.
