Default Go with DBW or DBC?

Alright a little background, Im picking up a LY6 for a lsx/t56 project in my 2000 sonoma. Ive driven a 08 sierra with a ly6 for testing at work and the lag was apparent, Ive also heard from a few others whom have dealt with the lag on the newer vehicles with dbw throttle. So Im thinking I either swap to a ls3 intake manifold and run a dbw throttle and keep the vvt with an aftermarket vvt cam. Or swap to a cable throttle body and remove the vvt for a traditional setup. My goals are a simple 425whp which should be attainable either way. But hey the more the merrier
From the begining I was planning on removing the vvt but now with more doors opening for the vvt, cam wise and getting into the tuning I've been considering keeping the vvt. Then today I found out that if I want to keep the vvt I have to run a dbw throttle since thats all the newest ecus can run.
Sort of stuck in between now.

Uh, DBW for sure. When you tune the car, the DBW can be set up how you want it. Why don't you run a carb, too? It will run much better, idle better, etc with wire.
