Default Single turbo 5.3 or 408?

Hey guys want to do a engine build only looking to make around 600 horsepower in going to do it with forced induction because the truck is a dd and it also spins a lot of times in the woods idealing around while hunting. I no bother platforms is plenty capable of my level of performance. I don't want a motor that's gonna run hot while putting around which platform would you go with and why?

Turbo 5.3. More power for the same money. Pop it, and you can have a replacement tomorrow for $500

I'd go with a billet BW S369. I'm working on messing with a s366 on my 5.3 69 c-10 but that Billet 369 seems to be a hell of a little turbo. Would spool really well on a 5.3. Guys are running them as twins and making 12-1400ish

Twins are a huge waste of money for that power level
