Default Should I go with a swap or lsvtec

I need to know if I should go lsvtec or with a gsr swap and build it from there.

In the lsvtec we are having........
arp head studs,portflow valvetrain,ctr cams,b16 ported and polished head, jdm itr header,itr jdm exhaust, aebs or blox or skunk2 or ported si intake manifold, ported b16 throttle body, b16 hydro tranny,ctr lsd

Bottom end

endyne pistons, block girdle, new rods, stock honda head gasket, The bottom end got 1800 miles of use and is built by gbrtung in New Jersey.

The block and head are done right and will be built well.

I am a daily driver and need something that I can use everyday and have preety good stamina. I know honda engines are gonna last forveer. But what aboyut the lsvtec.

Should I GO WITH A gsr swap or an lsvtec. I am looking at money aspect of it. I have money for both projects but I nwta to know which one is a better choice in the long run.

I need as much info as I can get. I need criticism , advice all of that. Hey if you got any parts or seeling engines tell me too.

I priced it out and the lsvtec will take about 3,000 more dollars to get. The block costs 1700. The block is built.

PLEAS GIVE ME ALL THE INFO THAT YOU HAVE. If you have a built lsvtec tell me how you made it reliabel and how much u had to fork out(optional). NEED OF INFO AND ALL INFO.

If you're going to put all this stuff into an LS block including girdle etc, I would just do LS stroke in GSR block.
