The answer is a GTS with a manual transmission.
It gets you bigger brakes, the helper springs, and access to options not available to the T.

Depends on what options one wants. "Helper springs" don't do anything for ride quality, and alternate, and arguably "better suited" suspension options are available aftermarket. Also, doesn't the T have shorter gear ratios? May be desirable for some.

This 100%. If the goal is to modify the car, that’s what you want to start with. With a 991.2, you’ve got more aftermarket options for everything, no warranty to void, and mature ECU tuning options. Makes a lot of sense as a starting point.

All Carrera/Targa series 992 share the same gear ratios for either PDK or 7MT.

The turbo series have a different final drive and the GT3/3RS have different transmissions all together (7-PDK and 6MT).

Same ratios for 7MT across models, same ratios for PDK across models, different ratios between PDK and 7MT (one has 8 ratios and the other has 7). Even the turbo-series share the same ratios as the PDK Carrera/Targa, only the final drive differs.
