If it was my car being built, I would favor a wider, fatter powerband and give up some top end HP in favor of drivability. A 997TT is really pretty good here and any turbo motor could be tuned for drivability. Everything is a tradeoff.
I am seriously toying with the idea of building a turbo capable Subaru EG33 (3.3 liter flat six cylinder) and swap it in using the same turbo as what's in there now. More torque, more linear power, and faster spool. The down side is the engine is heavier and longer and parts aren't as readily available.
