Which turbo to get for low end power?

I'm suspect that my current turbo is about to go bust, and so along with some other upgrades I'm making a plan for a new turbo and other goodies. My question is, what turbo should to get? Main goal is better low end power, and it would be nice if it was a ball bearing turbo.

If you want ball bearing, it's hard to go wrong with the GT30. You'll never make more then 300HP, but the thing will spool instantly.

Arron nailed it.

The stock turbo is a close second.

For quick spool up, dump the exhaust right after the turbine.
