I think those are your two best options, and they will probably be the most fun. The reason i would not get a B16 is because it does not have very much torque (its basically a D16 that revs higher, has two cams, and a few more hp up top). If your going to get a B16 youd be better off just getting a D and boosting it, it will be much cheaper and yeild approx the same results
The good thing about a B16 head and and B18 block is you will get the best of both worlds, high reving and some good torque
it also depends on what you plan to do, N/A or F/I, this will help you make you decision by knowing which route your going to take.
