Journal bearing turbo or a ball bearing turbo? Im still trying to learn and figure out the difference really.

doesn't really matter... to me it comes down to price. Journal bearings are proven and work well, BB is an obvious choice if money isn't an option, just make sure to use a restrictor as they require less oil..
ball bearings are supposed to be more reliable and also will spool a couple hundred rpms sooner, but they will also carry a higher price tag. TRUE BB turbos also are more efficient.
