Default Aftermarket turbo

Looking for some input on a aftermarket turbo for my 6.0L truck. I will be pulling a 10k lb trailer and just wondering what is the best option. Should I go with a VGT or non-VGT turbo? I have looked at the Garrett and ATS options. ATS does not have a VGT option but appears to be a good bolt on if going the non-VGT option. I have been looking at previous posts on ATS and it appears to be all customer service related issues and would just like some input on the performance side verses the Garrett.

Just buy a SCT tunner it will be alot chaper and will give you all the power you will need for a 10k trailer

Do not get a non-vgt if you tow. You will have a bad dead spot that will be multiplied with a trailer in tow.

Definitely stick with VGT. ATS does have VGT stuff too, but again, I've heard not a single good thing about their customer service.

The powermax everyone is buying up these days seems like a really good option.
