I can share my subjective views on this, having run a few turbos now including a t25, gt20 and now a td04 and jammapics gt25 hybrid.
If as you say you want to retain the power/psi of the tdo4 but spool, a bit quicker I'd personally go hybrid - although I'd have thought cost might be an issue.
The gt20 in my opinion runs out of puff higher up the rev range and leaves you hanging, but it is fudging awesome for quick off the line and over takes, 30-70 ..etc
Just didn't have the kick (lag) that the td04 has, which just wallops you in the back when it comes on, and will hold silly high boost round the clock.
I think they suit completely different driving styles?
The hybrid is a really nice compromise, comes on early and holds the power right up the revs.
I don't think the td04 is that bad, especially compared to the T25, its pretty drivable and for the money / ease of install (especially now you can buy ready made plates) it can't be beat for a practically bolt on and fairly reliable 160+bhp.
