Default stay b16 or turbo d16, ls?

ive had the b16 for a while and its just not doing it for me. i went from a turbo d16 to this and i have to say its slow.. so my question is should i do turbo d16,b18a or just stick with the b16. by the way N/A is not a option.

what ever i decide to do its gunna be built( pistons,rods yadda , yadda)

ive done everything there is to do with this b16 other than building the block for high compression. well i take that back i havnt spent 1300 on some itb's.
so you guys think ls is the way to go?
ls-vtec later.

Just boost the b16 you already have, and instead of swapping in an ls, build up an ls block in the meantime, and then you'll have your built lsvtec to boost later.

i do have 2 ls long blocks but doesnt anyone think i should turbo the d. thats the true under dog. my last setup with a d16z6 turbo put 230 to the wheels @10psi
and the ls turbo would only see 250 on stock internals not much of a deffence in my opionion. also d16's only cost 200-300 so if i blow it ,all ill have to do is swap it for anouther one. blowing 3 d16's is the same as blowing one b16.
i guess il just sell the b16 , and boost one of the ls's . and build the other ls on the side
but then there's the d16 which i totaly love from past exp.
so in short is it worth the 20hp to use the ls?
d16 also has vtec so its little more fun.

btw. 300 is my goal, daily driver

i already have all the things i need to boost either of the motors, all ive seen with the b16's boosted is low numbers unless there pushing 20+ psi
