Default which is better?? build up a k20a3 for turbo or swap a k20a and turbo on stock internals???

yo wuzzup everybody... I have a 2004 civic si. Im in the planning stages of what i want to do, and i wanna be smart about it. i really dont have issues with spending some loot if its gonna be worth it. I love type r's and i always wanted to swap a type r into my civics that ive had. but i dont know what to do. I considering just building up the k20a3 for turbo and then i think about jus putting in a k20a and jus run boost on those stock internals. which would have the better results???

K24A1. They are cheap, and can make nasty power under boost.

thanks. i appreciate the input. K24? eh? sounds interesting. I get where your going with that. what worries me about the a3 is that the vtec is not the same like on the a2 or DC5 type R k20. but i know the low compression on the a3 is good for boost. Im usually never this indecisive. i do know that i wanna boost. if you know anyone that has actually done the swap or built up an a3 for boost definitely let me know his experience.
