Install of either setup isn't much different than replacing the stock turbos. Figure about the same install time.
What I would really like is a rock solid 500 hp to the wheels running straight 93 octane. I don't want to run e85 and I don't want a tank of meth in the trunk. Probably by the time my warranty is done someone will have this worked out nicely. I believe either setup can probably run that now but I've not seen much to the effect. It's usually all about biggest numbers running whatever it takes to produce them.

+1.
If you're not going for a dyno queen, turbo lag can be minimized --and spool-up maximized -- with a properly sized turbo and a well-designed manifold.
I'm thinking that a single twin-scroll turbo (B-W EFR, Garrett GTX,..) could be pretty sweet.
