Best option B20B or B16A?

What’s a better road to take when dropping one of those engines. I have a budget of $3,000 and I want to know whats the better option.

Are you asking which is better for NA or FI? What's your budget? What's your end goal (300HP? 500HP? ETC.) Either way, do some research. There's plenty of data here that answers your questions. If you're too lazy to use the search function, then drop a high comp B20 in and go "own" some V8's and K's.

Based on your edited post and budget, I see 2 viable options;

If you're building the motor yourself, grab a B18B (LS) and upgrade the rods/pistons (10:1 Comp), B16 (PR3)/B18C (P72) VTEC Head, P28 Chipped ECU. You're basically prepping yourself for a Turbo LSVTEC setup in the future.
If you're paying someone to build the motor; B20B High Comp, B16 (PR3)/B18C (P72) VTEC Head, P28 Chipped ECU. This is a NA High Comp build that you'll have fun with.

Both are great for beginners. I highly recommend you watch any of the many videos on LSVTEC and B20V builds on YouTube.
