Switching lower housings can gain a little speed and may be go up one prop size. A switch from a lower water pickup lower unit to a standard water pickup lower unit can do this. But is the cost worth 1 or 2 mph.

Switching lowers is a zero sum gain.
500's/525'2 is a non issue for Bravo 1 or X.
Decide what you are going to use for power.
Drop that dime, then the drive question will be easy.
