Hi Riceburna,
A few things to note:
Not all 200sx turbos (t28) are the same. Only the "late model" engines have a ball bearing turbo. These come from the S15 or S14a models. So do you research on this before purchasing.
Yes, I would go for the ball bearing t28 over a CT26, however, the CT26 can be easily adapted to the standard 3T-GTE manifold, where as the t28 will need a custom manifold made to suit. So bang for buck, the CT26 makes a good conversion.
Have a read of this thread, as you may find this very useful.

I can not stress enough though, if you are looking to run a bigger turbo & higher boost... unless you want to see how pistons go bang, I would put in a set of forged pistons. 
With a set of decent forgies, & a few other tweaks here & there, the 3T-GTE can reliably put out up to 200rwkw without too much stress.
Hope this helps,
3T-GTE.
P.S. Don't forget to read that thread above... there is a lot of useful info & other links if you read right through.
