DFWs2k, I don't remember. It was earlier this year. I'm not sure where the slips are either. I know they are in my house somewhere, if I run across them, I'll post up.
Pricing wise, I think I can get a GT3076 for around $1300, a GTX3076 for $16-1700, and the TD06's are like $1600.
No HP goal, just more top end grunt.

I did this and a buddy changed out to the inline pro manifold and turbo upgrade and had better results. So if your gonna change the turbo, change the manifold unless you have a emmsions issue of some kind.

Buy the turbo you think you'll want to use with the Ptuning kit, and enjoy using it now. You'll get a nice upgrade to the Greddy kit (+40whp) without having to pay for an entire kit now, and later the more efficient Ptuning manifold will make another +75 or +100whp using the same turbo.
I'd suggest looking at the GTX3071R or the GTX3076R. The GTX3071R now seems to do what the GT3076 used to do. There's been some good discussion of this toward the end of the Ptuning thread. (Scroll down past the trash talk and you'll find it.)

And Engineer X's thread nicely covers turbo upgrades to the Greddy kit.

Err, never mind. I never noticed that Engineer X was using a T25 flanged GT30; I had assumed that he had somehow connected a T30 flange to the Greddy manifold.
I definitely wouldn't invest in a T25 flanged turbo unless you don't mind changing out the turbine housing when you go to the Ptuning kit. That might not be such a bad idea if you can sell the old housing, since it's only $300 anyway.
ATP Turbo has lots of options.

Right now, I have a new PFAB manifold and the T518z (like an 18g) that comes with the kit.

If you are going to stick with your T25 flanged manifold, get a smaller turbo. Something like a GT28 would work well. I like the GTX turbos, but I would only use one with at least a T3 manifold and external gate.
A small BW turbo would also be a good alternative, but you would need at least a T3 manifold, preferably T4.
