Hi Georgio,
Welcome to the boards.
I'll try to answer your post without sounding like a know-all. Here goes.
If reliability is your main objective, your choice should be to stick with the original engine. Modified engines, replacement engines etc all have their issues. In theory, of course they don't, but in theory, practice is the same as theory.
If however you are after performance, you will sacrifice reliability. If you're only willing to make a small sacrifice, something relatively minor such as an exhaust system might be for you. You might get a 5% increase in torque, depending on other restictions in your system.
If you ignore reliability, and fuel efficiency is your objective, I would guess that the 4AGE would be most fuel efficient, if only because it runs a high compression ratio and often boosted engines run richer than usual mixtures. It will also give you the least torque out of these motors, which will be easiest on the rest of your driveline (gearbox, clutch etc).
I think you may need to redefine your priorities, objectives and constraints, eg:
1. Maximum performance, within a certain budget
2. Maximum performance, within a certain MTBF (eg one breakdown every 2 months)
3. Maximum fuel economy, with a specified target performance (eg power/weight ratio or something else objective)
etc

i dont know about u, but i wouldnt to a conversion to a more powerful motor to get better fuel ecomony
