I highly recommend the gt35.
I used the gt3561 all last season. It was in the small mitsu-housing and it was non ball bearing. I got full boost of 23psi on pump gas at 4500 rpm. With my stock long block with just 264/272s and a Magnus Smim, I was flowing 49 lbs/min.
A friend of mine gets full boost on his gt35r at 3700-3800 rpm. He also traps 131 mph @ 28psi - Good for 10.7 e/t if he could ever get a decent 60 ft. This is also on the small mitsu turbine housing.
Now those are all good numbers but if you want to make some serious power with the gt35r I would recommend running it in a t3 or t4 housing. It flows so much better. I am running a T3-Gt3582r on my 2.3l. I havent hit the dyno yet but there is a dude on the dsmlink forums that made 520hp @ 22psi on pump gas.
I am shooting for 10s at Mitsu-day on the 22nd.
Hope this helps.
Edit: A cheaper option would be to get a PTE SCM61. Its a bolt on turbo which makes similer power to the gt35r but it comes with a much cheaper price tag. I ran that at the beginning of this season. Full boost on that with my build set up was 3900rpm.
