If you had a choice between an Aurora 5000, 4094, and 4294 which would you choose and why?

Turbo choice

4294 because imo garret makes one of the best turbo's and go big or go home... but honestly there are alot of factors like what are you using the turbo for and what is done to your truck and so on
None of those would be large enough for me. 
I guess it would depend on what you're trying do.
The A5000 is not recommended for towing, and has had reliability issues. It's a T3 flange which IMO is too small for that big of a charger (100mm wheel?)
The PPE GT4094R is smaller than the A5000 and is on a T4 mount. It's good for towing, yet is capable of HP in the high 600 range. It is watercooled and ball bearing.
The PPE GT4294R is similiar in output to the A5000, and will go past 700rwhp. GT4202R is the version I first broke 750rwhp with and ran into the 10's on fuel. Both are watercooled ballbearing, and not intended for towing, but haven't had many failures when used for that.

I dont tow hardly ever and the truck will be used for drag racing and an occasional sled pull. Truck has a stock bottom end with a single CP3 and am thinking about injectors.
4094 in my opionon just due to the factory bottom end. 5000 hard to drive on the steet. lights off at 2300 rpm.
4094 would get my vote but s300's deffinatly get the most bang for the buck award , i think over any turbo for the dmax . the 4094 will get you a little more power but not a ton but with it being on a t-4 pedistall is why i like it better than the s300 .
s300's come in many sizes , all are on a t3 pedistall the sizes range from 62mm to 71 mm inducer's , and a few exaust turbine options , the one i run is a 66 mm inducer on the compressor , and a 71mm on the turbine very happy with the performance of the turbo for the cost ( even cost aside) .
GT4094R for a daily driver and stock bottom end
looking for more then 600 then the gt42 series is the way to go.
