I want the most reliable set up possible, SC or turbo I am open to. I just need more knowledge. I defer that to your expertise. I candidly prefer an SC but I've read that if I optimize my setup for the higher elevation, it may stress the engine at sea level, is that true? What is your experience with turbos at altitude?

4000ft is certainly not 6000ft, but I lose about 14% peak horsepower at 4000ft (NA). At 6000ft you stand to lose ~24% (NA). I want to minimize losses due to elevation and increase reliability.

Could you recommend a turbo kit and a comparable SC for me? And which supporting mods will be necessary for both. I'm not looking for anything past stage 1 gains. More of just a small bump and then maintenance/consistency through elevation changes.

You're overthinking it.

For your goals, all you literally need is a bolt-on kit and tune. If you're ONLY staying at 4000 feet, then you optimize for that. In your case, since you're coming down the mountain every day, you optimize for sea level.

PM me for options.
