It all depends. One factor to consider is cost. And the price difference between a GSR and ITR is not THAT great if you pay retail. However, you can probably find a GSR for MUCH less if you actually look around. Then there is power output. The ITR does put out quite a bit more. And it IS true that getting the GSR to put out ITR power WILL cost more than the price difference between the two. But if you plan to do an extreme build, then a GSR might be a better idea, since there is no point in paying extra for stuff you plan to upgrade further anyway. So here's how I see it: if you just want to drop in a motor with good power and forget about it, go ITR. But if you can either get a GSR cheap or plan an extreme build, go GSR.
