Turbo for 1G-GTE

Hey all,
I've just bought a single turbo manifold for my 1G-GTE. It has a flange for an external gate and suits TD05/TD06 turbos.
I've been told that the TD05 runs well at around 15psi - which is about the boost I want to run on my motor, and after being for a ride in my mates Evo, which runs a TD05 16G, it has nice quick spool, which is what I'd like - I'm not wanting a too laggy turbo.
I can pick a TD05 up for around $700 reconditioned.
I've been told by other people that the TD05 will be too small for my engine - and that I should go with the TD06. But the TD06 seems like quite a big turbo, and looks like it could be quite laggy - which I don't want. Other people argue that because it is a 6 cylinder, it needs a bigger turbo - but it's still a 2litre, just like the Evo, so the exhaust gas volume is still the same - just more exhaust pulses.
I know it's all about flow in terms of size of turbo, but if all I want is 15psi, and the TD05 can handle it fine, then is there really any need to go to the TD06?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike.
