Default Ls-v or gsr built?

I was thinking about doing a ls-vtec conversion on my car, but i'd like to get some opinions on what you guys think about it first. For ls-v i was going to put some ctr pistons w/ a b16 head w/ some ctr cams but one of my guys just said he is going to sell a gsr block w/ 11:1 pistons and eagle rods. I was wondering which route you would go....built gsr block w/ a b16 head or ls-v with ctr cams and pistons? Let me know what you guys think. It's going in a crx.

LS-VTEC=trouble. I know two guys who have had LS-VTEC and both have blown up. If you dont want to worry about reliability than go with the GSR.

how about a gsr with ls crank and b16 pistons. budget build, reliability of gsr, stroke and torque of ls, good compression level with the b16 pistons.
