Default Which Motor for Turbo????

I want to go with a turbo motor and was wondering which motor is best for this application. I have heard that the b18b is because it has a slightly lower compression and no vtec which isn't needed for higher boost. I just need some opinions on this.

If you have plenty of $$ and high goals go with a b18c or crvtec. If your on a budget and looking for anything in the 200-300hp range Id say go b18b. You can always add a Vtec head later.
