Default opinions please...boost soon to be d15b or h2d swap??

i want some opinions on what to do next...i have a d16z6, ran a 15.3 with it wasn't bad
but recently it crapped out on me. So as i mentioned in another post i will be soon ordering
a jdm d15b vtec with intentions to boost. But i have been searching around and realized
i can for 'almost' the same price as building the d and boostin with a tune and everything
i can do an h2d swap. Personally i love the h22, and have always had intentions of doing the swap
but wanted to stay away from the trouble, then came bisi with the h2d.
My goal is to run constant low to mid 14s and dd the car. So, what do u guys think
would be A. more reliable, B. reach my goal, and C. most bang for my buck?
Oh and please don't explain the h swap process i already know it. I'm just lookin
for opinions on the two ideas before i order my next motor.

oh, and my boost plans were small, nothin over 8psi...
so i assume my whp would be pretty much identical with a d on 8psi or h22.

If your talking about a H2B swap i would go With the H2B... its like having a k20 in your civic! but if your talking about just doin a h22 swap i would go with the single cam turbo!
U can never go wrong with a little Boost!!!

i do infact mean "h2d" i wanna use my d series tranny, it's not as close ratio as a b but
it's not much longer than an ex tranny. and yes a little boost never hurt no one lol
but i wanna b decently quick and reliable. n/a would give me braggin rights too right?
