Turbo time...need input! (long)

It looks like my turbo is on its way out. The car is at the mechanic today and they said they will let me know by tomorrow if the turbo is really dead, but judging by the leaking water around it and the white smoke out the back, i think its time for a new turbo. So I want to get your guys' input as to a good compromise. I want more power than the stock turbo, but not much more lag. I am considering the SPG9 stage 1 turbo. I think its a stock housing with a super 60 wheel?!?( I dont really know what this means but thats what i am told) I also read on here about someone who got a T3/4 hybrid for a little over $400?(Where did you get this turbo??) What do you guys recommend?
I will probably be ordering whatever I get tomorrow. Everyone please give me input, i dont want to buy a turbo for a long time. I dont want to spend a whole lot, so no ball bearings. I want to have something capable of 250hp. So what do you guys think?
