Default Best Type Of Wastegate

I want to know what the best type of wastegate is. Such as the ones that come on TD04h turbos or a seperate wastegate such as a Delta or the like.

get an external, they are easier to adjust, more reliable and sexy, its a really important part of the system, if it jams shut you will over boost until something gives like you block.

If you all think that it is the best to have an external wastegate than I guess I can sacrifice simplicity and money for performance. I suppose I can try find a decent one on ebay.

It all depends on budget and practicallity.
I'm cheap, but I got the wastegate for "cheap"(free).
And I have a turbo without an internal wastegate.
If i bought a turbo with an internal wastegate I wouldn't look for an external one though unless the one on the turbo is faulty.
