Question pistons for PSI

I think I'm going into uncharted territory with my 351C turbo project.

Here's my dilemma.
I want some low end power, and I don't want to advance my timing too far just to get quick turbo response. I can live with some turbo lag. I'm thinking of using a static compression of at least 9.5:1 and running lower boost (like 8-11 PSI).

I know alot of you guys with blowers go with deep dish pistons to get that static compression down to 8.5:1 So, are you guys getting better times with:

A) higher static compression with lower boost (psi)

or

B) lower static compression with high boost?


Thanks for your input,
corey
