At least bell mouth with a wastegate separating plate that extends into the turbo housing.
I personally like an entirely separate wastegate pipe that rejoins the main pipe well down the pipe. (AKA Divorced Wastegate)

With the divorced bell mouth, I'm not convinced it works as well. I think it generates more turbulence rather than smooth flow at /near the turbine exit which can't be that great for flow and generates at last some back pressure on the turbine. It wold be really nice it the turbo housing flange actually had separate circular exits and not this big nebulous space that we are forced to deal with.

Divorced Wastegate and either ceramic coated (preferred) or heat wrapped to prevent heating the TMIC and engine bay.

Normally, I would have already recommended Crucial, but their new one still hasn't been released.

Personally I recommend bellmouths. Lower failure rate, lower cost, and it's hard to really get them wrong.
