need a turbo upgrade

its time for an upgrade. i looked up a few options but am undecided. i want to be close to 300whp but i really need it to have nice mid range torque( since i do alot of back roads driving) i wans considering going down the vf34 path but im not sure i want to . other turbos i was considering was a hks gt series, pe1818. Any of your guys have experience with the last 2? and what do you recomend?

ive been looking more and more into it and it seems that the vf34 is what i need. the hks turbo is way to much in cost per hp. what do you guys recomend for running 18-20 psi?
