Default what ratio would you recomend turbo b16a1

just sold my old engine and am building a new one, its going to be a nice simple B16a1 turbo, iv got a T4/T3 hybrid turbo, a steel crank and all my old tuning bits, iv now gotta decide what compression ratio to go for, i have a choice of these:
# 8.2:1
# 8.5:1
# 9.0:1
# 9.6:1
the lowest one would be good but i dunno if the 1600cc lump will spin the turbo up fast enuf, at such a low level, it will mainly be used for street use, but will be going to a few drag meets,

any advice would be very much appriciated,
olly
