I think turrets are overrated, in terms of the trade-off between that and gun size. I'd go for something like the Jagdpanzer IV/70.

Gun size and strength matters the most, as well as the optics required to hit first. After that, armor to protect against common anti-tank gun calibers. Speed is not important imo, nor a turret.

A few of these overwatching for an infantry fighting vehicle -- 40mm HE auto on a chassis armored against anti-tank weapons.

The TD described above overwatches against enemy tanks while the IFV destroys infantry strongpoints.
