you did answer your own question as far as the swaps. You already have a DOHC though, have you considered boosting it instead of swapping?

The big advantage of the H over the B lies in NA use. If you're going FI, K20 or B18c1 would be optimal IMO. The K will make more power, but if you factor in cost of parts/motor, the B is much more bang for the buck.
