Turbo for sure, who would want variable valve timing when you can get a turbo?? hahah

But if you got the funds Ls/vtec turbo will get you some serious power.

how about both!

i went from a 94 RS with a B18B with 195k miles to a 98 Turbo GSR with 16k miles.

Turbo + VTEC =

but really, if you're going turbo, spend the extra money you'd spend on vtec and build the block and head and push more boost. vtec may not even add any horsepower at all. it might add a few, but if you tune the engine (YOU'D BETTER! or you'll blow the motor up!), it probably won't. cams are too long for turbo applications.
