I'd go with Bronco, the Trumpeter appears to have a couple of not insignificant inaccuracies and more simplified detail [particulary on the emgine].

As already said, Bronco.
Take a look here:

Trumpeter's kit has significant inaccuracies, considering that only one prototype was built, to test the D-25T gun and a modified turret.
I may stand corrected, but AFAIK the actual turret of the prototype was installed on a IS-2 hull, in a tank-monument. You can see it here:
