the B20 will make more all around power at the same boost level. as long as you keep the boost low (under 10PSI) and have it tuned safley the cylinder sleeves should be OK. but they have been known to crack.
the B18B will take more abuse and yes the sleeves are stronger but it will make a little less power......

Re: b18 or b20 for boost (non-VTEC)
my jdm freak friend of mine said that the only difference between the b20 and b18 is the stroke....not the bore....so he told me to boost the sh*t out of the b20 but then i do here from other ppl about the thing sleeves on the block and i comon sense tells me that a bigger displacement will hold more boost...but then everyone i know that boost their ls motors on stock internals never have no problems and create mad horsepower...

Your friend is wrong,
b18=81 mm bore
b20=84 mm bore
