If you want a turbo it must be a T5. The GLT has a light pressure turbo to get the bhp up to around 200. Not too much of a punch. The engine on a T5 is the 2.3L with around 240bhp, lots of torque at about 3500 rpm.
The tranny is just preference, the auto was made better in 1997 with the inclusion of a filter in the pan - still should flush it once in a while. The best thing you can do is find someone whom you can trust to buy it from and make sure it has a maint history.
