Default Turbo recommendations

All, I am still moving ahead with the turbo build and need recommendations.
The setup is a fairly mild blow through on a 400 (mainly for street duty), automatic transmission, 79 trans am. The short block will be around for a few years and is fresh, but since I am not a big 400 fan, I am sure it will be replaced by a 461 or possibly another 535 down the road. Right now its somewhat a budget build and targeting mild boost in the 9lb range.
The rods are eagles with ross pistons, small roller cam, but the weak link right now is probably the cast crank. 300cfm edelbrock heads, ram air 2.5” manifolds
I need to pick up a single turbo, wastegate, and blow off valve so I can start figuring how to run the exhaust and plan the mounting. With the future in mind of a larger bottom end, I know I wont find a great fit that can do both but I definitely want to pick something that has some room to grow left in it.
I’d like the opinion of the knowledge here for the turbo, wastegate and blowoff, keeping in mind this is a fairly budget oriented build (as much as a turbo can be). I appreciate it.
