Default Gold Blade or Silver Blade TB

I'm building a twin turbo 5.3. The engine, harness and computer (E38) are from a 2013 Silverado. I have a Professional Products LS2 style (96mm) intake.

Can anyone recommend which DBW throttle body will work best with the 2013 E38 Truck ECM?

I have a throttle pedal from a 2005-2011 Corvette (P/N 25835421) that I plan to use.

GEN IV ECM and corvette pedal. Id go with the biggest TB available which is the LS3 gold blade and since the market is flooded with them, its the cheapest out there

I noticed that the gold blades were significantly cheaper...I wasn't sure why, other than I had read that the silver blades are better from a tuning perspective. Thanks for the input, bigger and cheaper sounds much better.

Silver blades are the largest TB compatible with GEN III PCM/TAC modules so they command a higher price. Gold blade TBs are not compatible, so only LSAs and a few truck guys want them
