Whatever you do don't build a single turbo for what you are wanting to do.

It comes down to a twin turbo deal or NA. Single turbos are WAY too laggy. 2 smaller efficient turbos can be made to work, but as mentioned, you have to manage that heat.

I know lots of guys around here who track their twin turbo Porsches and from the factory smallish turbos it's a nice fairly linear power transition.

It depends on how serious you wanna get and how much you are really going to track it vs street drive it. Have to be honest with yourself and hopefully predict accurately how the car will be used. I say that because many of us change our usage after a car is built.
