Best trans for a manuel swap?

Cause I found this locally which made me start thinking about the swap.

I'm not concerned about any surgery, I'm fairly competent with a welder. I know I'm going to need the bell housing from Quicktime for the swap and then I want to go with a hydraulic clutch set up as well.
So then scratch the NV3500 then.

If I stay with the hydraulic clutch set up, in the end which is going to cheaper, T5 swap or finding an 833 and the parts?
