Torn between setups

Ok so the only thing holding me back right now is which setup to go either na-t or swap I know it's been covered 1,000,000 times plus but need to vent the fact that I can't make up my mind. I'm not looking for any type 1000hp car but would like to be in the 5-600 range by end of the year. End of rant.

I'm leaning more towards that route as of right now but going
To give it till Sunday before I start.. Should I do a rebuild on the motor or just new gaskets and all that she just hit 160k or run it how it is till it blows and then worry about it. Money's not a big deal just want to do what makes more
Sense..

Compression test and leak down test , if everything looks good boost away! And you are in FL so it shouldn't be hard for you to get tune and all that good stuff.

All the 3 setups are great , reliable and expensive once you start making some decent power! So either way it's not cheap 1jz/2jzgte or na-t all the same money pit if you asks me LOL but it's all worth it .
I have been on both side of the fence ..
