Default wHICH B16 head is better on a b18c block?

Should I go with:
A first gen b16 for $375
as far as i know, there's nothing wrong with it. it was ported and
polished by dave hickman. not including the valve train, valves, intake
manifold, distributor, solenoids. what's included is the cam caps and the rails.

or
2 gen b16 for $90
no cams, intake mani, not p&p, and needs to be regrinded
but includes valvetrain and valves.
from what I know

What do you think? open to suggestion.

The second gen heads are better because they have better cams, and a better oiling system. Plus, the first gen heads are just plain old. 89-91.

But, if you will be needing cams for the $375 dollar head, I guess it won't be that bad.
