Default Your choice of turbo for a zetec ?

What turbo would you choose for a zetec turbo if you was doing one ?

I know it is a bit of a personal taste thing, due to how much lag your willing to put up with / how much power you want etc..., but what turbo would you choose if you had the choice? a GT28, T3 Stage 3, T34 etc.... ?

Not wanting a bhp monster, something that is quick but drivable at the same time.

No headwork as I believe the standard head / cams are good for circa 300bhp.

Standard exhaust / inlet + 440cc injectors.

Will be concentrating on getting the bottom end strong mainly.
