The TM's have been known to take a crap around the 3-4 gallon mark. It's happened to many of us here, myself included. I'd say go with the 3.3.

I think the TZ problem has pretty much been solved by the RD Racing spacer. I doubt that anyone will get any more life out of a 3.3 but time will tell.

I would get the 3.3. Its got the same if not more power then the .18's and your engine depending on your tune should be able to get a lot more then the os's. 3.3 is only 135 with the engine exchange and just bolts right up.

Between the two you listed, I would go 3.3 just on cost alone! All the other good stuff comes as a bonus.
