Post which engine turbo 2.3 or 5.0

I can't decide which to swap in a turbocharger 2.3 liter or a 5.0 liter. Which do you guys think would be better/cheaper. I'm worried about swaping in the eletronics from the 2.3 turbo(I HATE running wires). Much of the wiring hassel could be elinated if I went with a carbed 5.0 liter. But some one told me that swaping in a 2.3 turbo would be cheaper. Also I've heard that the front syspention is different on a 4 banger than on a V-8(bigger brakes and fatter sway bars). Is this true?
