Can't imagine you'll have fuel issues with the GCL at the power levels you're looking at. I admit I was looking at the shotgun hpfp the other day. Kinda concerned about longevity when shooting over 500 on twins though. A lot of torque down low kills engines. One of the big reasons I'm waiting, really want to see the upcoming ACF bottom mount Borg Warner EFR single turbo kit.
I'd definitely go with the bucketless. It wasn't available when I ordered mine--released a few months afterwards, but apparently it has about 25% more flow capability than the bucket version I have (which sounds pretty significant imo). I'd certainly go that way and just keep your existing bucket/sell it.

A single turbo bottom mount sounds like the best option for these cars, and that ACF version with a BW turbo matched to your power levels seems to be best case scenario.
