Default Best turbo for a vitara build?

This is a question for the D series guys

I'm doing a vitara build in my Y8 and am wondering what you would suggest as the best overall turbo configuration like comp/ex size, trim and bearing system. My goal is 300-400 to the wheels after tune. Most likely tuned with hondata s200 or s300

This is the set-up mostly from FJ distributors

First- full rebuild with gaskets and bearings,
nitride the block and crank (no over bore)
fill the top half of the waterjacket with liquid aluminum (check out D-series.org for details, pretty cool)
Vitaras and forged I-beams from FJ
Stock Y8 head with port and polish
Possibly a turbo cam from FJ or other reputable online shop?

I'm undecited between buying a regular cast "log" manifold or going with a top mount. For no real reason than it looks ****in cool. Lol

One catch is that I want to be able to still drop in a totally stock Y8 I have for if/when this motor setup fails.... Which is why the decision was made to go D-series in the first place.

Sorry for the long write-up, any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm new to turbo tech.

I've been looking at garrett since dual ball bearing is enticing, but why do you suggest that setup?

The three I'd been interested in were:

Garrett GT35R
Holset HX35
Precision T3/T4 hybrid or some sort

What in these general areas would work the best for a 3-400 Whp DD

(And why, please )

I have an ebay T3/T04E .63 AR and it runs good. I've had it a while and its fine. It spools @ 4k. I made about 270WHP on ~13.5PSI on my Built D. Vitara, Y8 Block, Scat H Beams, Z6 head some random mild cam that i dont know what it is.
