Replacement Turbo Suggestions?

well, im in the process of replacing my head gasket on my 91 900T and its looking like the turbo (TE-05) has quite a bit of play in the shaft. not a huge surprise to me as it seems to be the original and the car has just gone past 200k. what im planning to do is put the whole deal back together cause i need a car now, and then using the engine from my 89 parts car as a basis for a rebuild. the plan right now is basically stock pistons, fresh rings, 9000 head, 2.1l intake.
The question i have is what turbo would be good for this setup? im thinking a T3/T4 wich it seems i could get pretty resonably on ebay. but theres also the option of the te-05 rebuilt with a 16G cmpressor, or possibly a rebuild of the parts car's T3 with a "super 60" upgrade.
Basically im not sure what the advantages of each option are, and what other options are available. im looking for a good amount of power, but good spoolup and mostly reliability. Any reccomendations? By the way im a poor college student so budget is a factor so no telling me to get a GT-28 or anything :)
Thanks in advance,
Paul
