Which turbo?

Ok, after countless hours of decision making I have narrowed my choices to a GT2871R or a T3/T4 and I can't make up my mind on which one. I am looking for about 400 at the motor w/ decent spool, but would like to chose the turbo that would allow for a little more. Both it seems produce simmilar numbers so anybody have an opinion?

gt2871 is only really efficent to 350 go for a bigger turbo, go with a gt3071r that should hit around 420 with a good setup

ooooooooohhhhhhh that's a hard one. i've seen a 340 whp setup (sr) with the 2871 and it spooled nicely. not sure on the efficiency, but it's a really nice turbo none the less. 400chp should be 320ish whp correct?

the manifold isn't really an issue which ever I go with I will be buying a new manifold as well. I am kind of leaning toward the gt2871 though
