Go the 3SGTE in auto. The auto should be "controllable" enough to tame the turbo. Or tone down the turbo boost so you don't end up in a tree. This was my plans before in the old Camry (as well as finding a 2nd or 3rd Gen 3SGE) but nothing eventuated coz of cost of replacing every consumable part.
I saw a 2VZ-FE having the heads rebuilt and I wouldn't want to pay for that kind of repairs. Going to a 3VZ would be insane and make the car really front heavy. I've driven the 2VZ Camry and it's a sweet engine with a nice note. You don't feel the speed in that car since it's so quiet.
