Default d15B head question

my buddy has a d15b jdm vtec head that needs new valve seals and spring and was considering buying it and rebuilding but my question is would it be worth the money to buy this for 45 dollars and rebuild it or buy a z6 head?

ive read alot about the mini me swaps id like to have the jdm vtec head but also the z6 performs alot better.. im kinda stumped

i swear they should make a rule to post up LINKS or specific facts to where you found your info. a d15b head is exactly identical to a z6 head! heads dont give you more torque WTF... if your talking about a 1.5 jdm d15 vs 1.6 d16z6 it has more torque because of displacement/bigger crank but pretty much same thing.
