high comp will start better in cold weather.
but not much power.

high boost will be more power, but reliability becomes an issue.

With head studs and some good gaskets you could do 16psi on occasion. I still wouldn't go trying to peg the boost guage every chance you get. You would need an intercooler as well, no point in having more than 10psi without one.
