I think its better on the engine to have the rpm's higher that to have higher boost.
Going up a steep hill in 5th with the gas pushed further seems to me like its causing more stress on the engine from "struggling".
Whereas going up a steep hill in 4th with the rpm higher makes the load on the engine a lot easier.
