Also can you elaborate or provide any examples on what amkes the 550 a better basis for setup as a GTS car?

Team preference. Has alot more history in European racing than the Vette. Notice that the 550 teams are Euro.

Intuitively I would have guessed the C5 to be a good basis but obviously nobody has done it including Prodrive who chose 550s. Anway inquiring minds want to know!!!

CARE racing(IIRC that's who paid prodrive) wanted 550s. So they got 550s. Also see my above answer.
