Default B16a or B18C build?

I was talking to one of the guys at import builders and he was telling me that the B16a was a better chioce fully built for boost because of the fact the b18's put down too much mid-range whp. What is yall's take on it? I have an integra and somewhat hesitant to put a B16 in my car.

B16's have a better chance to hook over 300hp than b18's

go with the b18c, if you are going to be building the motor, im sure you'll be putting in a nice suspension setup as well and it will hook. otherwise, 300hp is 300hp.
