1) Both Wikipedia and E Britannica spell it as "Junggar Basin" (spelled with a double "g").

2) Every G result for "Dsungharian basin" is derived from cc-cedict, so that seems to be wrong.

3) 準噶爾 refers various things, not just the basin:
準噶爾可以指:
- 準噶爾部
- 準噶爾汗國
- 準噶爾盆地
- 准格爾旗
I suggest we omit 準噶爾 and just retain the specific terms like 準噶爾盆地 etc.

4) 准格爾旗 (Jungar Banner - Wp spells it with a single "g") is the title of the Wp about that place. I suggest we likewise add 旗 to our headword, and follow Wp in making the first character 准. (Both spellings, 準格爾旗 and 准格爾旗, have about the same number of GV results.)

5) GV results:
"準格爾盆地" - About 3,280 results
"准格爾盆地" - About 4,010 results
"准格尔盆地" - About 32,700 results

"准葛爾盆地" - About 5,280 results
"準葛爾盆地" - About 9,610 results
"准葛尔盆地" - About 412,000 results

"準噶爾盆地" - About 46,400 results
"准噶爾盆地" - About 3,110 results
"准噶尔盆地" - About 495,000 results

Summary:
准葛尔盆地 and 准噶尔盆地 are easily the most common simp forms, and 準噶爾盆地 is the Wp article title, and also the most common trad form.
I suggest we go with just 準噶爾盆地 | 准噶尔盆地.

I'm not sure that 准葛尔盆地 is considered correct.
For example, 准噶尔盆地 is the spelling used in the Baike article.
And the Baike article makes a point of saying the pr. is "ga" (not "ge").
准噶尔盆地(英文Junggar Basin;“噶”为gá),...
