The gt3082 is an older turbo I think. The gt35 is the one that makes up to 600 hp. The 3082 must be a mixture of gt30 and hot side of the gt35. May not even be ball bearing.
Not a fan of BB turbos after reading about plenty of problems with them over the years (not run one myself) - if reliability isn't a concern then you're laughing or just run multiple filters before the pressure restrictor. I'd go journal bearing and accept a little more lag for some improved reliability. That said, I found that the Holset was oil cooled only, so I'd want to address that...
Perhaps a billet wheel on a Holset is along the right lines...

BB turbos are fine. All turbos are fine so long as you run them in spec and as meant to. The majority of the world runs BB turbos and I wouldn't take a step back going to journal bearing just because a few loud voices said they had a problem with a BB turbo. So long as it's a reputable company it's fine.
