no brainer bud - Raptor
Factory the Raptor will be 450+hp and 500+tq. With just a tune (~$600) you'll be ~530ish hp and 600tq.
With the Raptor you can have your cake and eat it too.
besides, with the Roush you are paying 22k for 15k in upgrades and the engine isn't even forged.
the only real deal breaker would be towing - The Raptor will have a lower tow rating because of the suspension.

Ford has stated at least 450hp
http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars...m-ecoboost-v6/
and as I posted it will EASILY make 530hp/600tq with a tune - why? Because the gen 1 eco makes 80/100 with a tune so the gen 2 eco will make at least that much.
it's all preference of course - buy what you want. If you want the max benefit for your dollar, don't buy a friggen Shelby, roush or god forbid Hennessey.

Not sure about the hp numbers, but agree with if you are taking it offroad or not. I know 10 people with Raptors, 1 takes his off road more than light offroading that you could do with a 2WD truck. For most the only offroading they do is parking at the range driving down a dirt road that I have done in my old hybrid Honda Civic.

Depends on what you are going to use it for. If you aren't doing hard core off roading, I'd go Roush. Ford failed IMO when they didn't offer a V8 version of the new Raptor. I was planning to buy a 17 Raptor, until I found out they were an ecoboosted V6. Now I'm looking at a low mile 14.
