I say go with the t2. You will get a little bit more power with the potential for a lot more power. Especially if you put an upgrated computer or a carb.

I always liked the N/A sound better. If money ain't an issue (ya lucky bastard) then do whatever power delivery style/ upgradeability you want. I suppose a turbo motor will have greater potential... *shrugs*
Whatever you do, good luck and happy wrenching!

what do you want to do with it? do you want it simple or complexicated? define better. the t2 will make more power, but its heavier. the na is simpler and potentially more reliable.

I agree with the N/A being more reliable, the turbos put alot of stress on the engine... however, since you're getting either engine rebuilt and ported, definitely the T2 because a rebuilt engine will last many years before needing another rebuild. I'd go with a T2 street port. While some people here will swear by a bridge, it isn't as street-drivable, and a street port with turbos is more than enough power.
Now you just have to spending that "money is not an option" on a bunch of other stuff :P
