Default B18B w/ Turbo or B20B/Z w/ Turbo

I'm going to be doing an engine swap on an EK hatchback, and was wondering which would be the best way to go. a B18B with Turbo, or a B20Z with Turbo?

Also, which engines will cost more?

And what kind of turbo kit should I look for? I'm looking for something that will give me something in the 200-250whp range and similar torque, and the most reliable setup.

i'd get the B20 for the extra torque..and gather up the basic items to have a custom turbo setup...but why not go with the B18C1...

Another Question, will the turbo kits for the B18B like the Drag Gen 3 kit, work for the B20?
