Default B16 frank or str8 up B16?

hi guys im new to the site but not new to the game. i am on deciding if i should do a b16 frank or do a str8 up b16? the reason why im asking is cuz i bought a b16a2 block today for dirt cheap thats why i got it and i have obd2 b18c1 gsr head that i have left over from my gsr. what do all u guy recoman i should do. imo im leaning more to the str8 up b16a2 instead of b16 frank but not to sure what root i should go. any opinion will be apprc. thanks

b16 frank???
using the b16 block with gsr head will give a litltle higher compression, which is good, i would use the b16 block and gsr head,

so doing a b16 Frankenstein is the way to go instead of a b16 swap?
