I'd say depends on your budget and what you can/want to do with that budget. Adding twins to the V6 would (in my mind) be the cheaper option - you don't need to buy a car and parts are available. I think a twin turbo V6 would be kinda cool, slightly sleeper-ish, and a "what if" if Ford stuck a bored-out 3.5 in the S550. I would not, however, do a V6 to V8 swap. It's not as straightforward nowadays as it was with older cars thanks to dedicated modules and harnesses.
Buying an unmodified GT and adding twins would be the most expensive option and one that I personally wouldn't pull unless mods were slated for later on. Your best bet IMO would be to just buy an already modified one.
With the GT350, you're pretty much at the S550's purest sportiest form. Something that is track capable out of the box and won't need much in upgrades to have fun at the track. Maybe not the most powerful or best to daily, but would at least (for me) put a smile on your face when you drive it. Also the easiest route, unless you'd plan to add FI to it too lol. A big con is the Voodoo's *sometimes* questionable reliability and cost of ownership - registration, fuel, and insurance won't be cheap.
If it was my choice, I'd go the GT350 route if the budget is there. Something special and fun...and that noise . If I was in your shoes and wanted more power though, I'd consider doing some heavy research on 3.7 FI. V6's can sound good and make some good power, something unique to boot too.
