Default best turbo for 200bhp

I'm gonna be looking shortly for a new turbo for my series 2 which is running OFAB efi at the mo.
My question is wot would be the best spec turbo for a genuine 200bhp and a nice driveable/responsive power band, eg minimal lag on my 1600cvh engine.
And second where is the best place to go to either rebuild my current standard T3 to a new spec or a supply a new unit?
