PB+ extends the available range and potentially capable of charging slightly quicker on ultra fast DC EVSEs.

0-60 may be the same, but other performance stats vary (pic below).

Extra range with bigger battery, but also more weight.

Depends on individual circumstances.

Also have a look at this post from @Avantgarde on the subject.

For me, the inevitable battery degradation that comes with use/ageing, would be reason alone to go for the largest battery. This would be even more important in colder climates, as consumption takes a hit during winter time.

Probably also easier to sell the car later, if it has the larger battery.

I notice you start a lot of threads @badboy02 to ask for help putting your custom build together. Maybe it is an idea to share your build and ask for feedback in a single thread. All your questions have been answered last couple of years in other threads and it seems you have some doubts. With an overview of all your options we are able to help you in a better way.
