Which one would be the way to go? I want to dip into the 11's and am wondering if the internal wastegates are as reliable and precise as the externals...If I were to go with the external which turbo and downpipes could I or should I use? Sorry for all the questions but I'm new to all this and appreciate any help I can get:)

Later,
Eric

Over a long period of time, the internal gates are probably more reliable and need much less attention.

Many are in the tens with internal gates such as come with the Terry Houston Downpipe which as a larger diameter gate to better control large turbos.

If you will read the performance recipes included within the tech articles of this site and the turbo selection guide also within the same area, you will probably save yourself a few thousand dollars and enjoy the car much more.
