New Turbo question

Perhaps I should be posting in the perf. board, but I'll start here - the more "sane" folks (read throught the perf. board lately? sheesh!)
Upon close inspection, my '93 900T has a leak at the turbo, where the wastegate lever sprouts out from the turbo housing (Mitsubishi unit). There are these "flow" marks that are visible. I have about 10200 miles on the counter, and think I should start "tightening" things up to keep her in top shape.
What is the current word on a good turbo replacement? How much does it cost? Easy to swap? I see the post about the back bolts being a pain to get to.
The local shop recommends a unit from Turbo Engineering, in California, which is slightly larger. I've also been reading a little about the T3/T4 hybrids (too much?). I am thinking more in terms of longevity, but extra ooomph would be welcome.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks!
