Default New guy needs turbo upgrade

OK guys I've looked all over the forums and can't find much. I'm wanting to upgrade my baby h1c when I get back to the states...on a budget. My truck's non-i/c. Right now I'm trying to decide between a hx35, 60mm upgrade from GDS or a h1e/h1c hybrid or just the swap. I found a hx35 for $150, h1e for $50 or the 60mm I think is around $275. What do yall recommend? As far as what I'm looking for...a little more street and off-road performance, eventually pulling so I might want twins when the money comes along.

I have the hx35 in my 93 it works great but it depends on what your plans are for the truck.

How much boost are you getting and how bad is the lag? The only thing that was turning me off about the 40 was the lag I keep hearing about. Right now my fuel system is about the same as yours except the lift pump, but I plan on taking care of that soon as well. As soon as I get home I will also be going to a BHAF instead of my dirty old AFE. I went ahead and bought the h1e so I can build the hybrid just to see how it does. Who knows, it may satisfy me for awhile. After a lot of research it sounded pretty good for what I want and the price is right for what I can afford, but I may go to a HX40 later on when I have soem more money laying around.
