Default b20 vs b18, is the b20 worth it?

I am building an all-motor LS and I have both a b20 and a b18 block. Either way I am going arias or JE pistons, eagle rods, big crane cams, crane valvetrain, etc. I want good power but I dont want to hurt reliability. Is the b20 going to be reliable spinning to 8000 or 8500 very often? Thanks

Ok what about 12.5:1 in a B20? Or should I stay at 12:1?

If you are going to resleeve it, who cares.

If not, sure go B20. Spin it just as high as LS.
