depends on if you want to get aftermarket pistons.

If so, then there's no difference, go w/ the cheaper one

there are no other differences in the motor, what about rods and crank are they the same?

Yes, the rods/sleeves/crank are the same.

the only other thing that you could find different is that the B20B will sometimes have the rare p8r head on it, but that should not matter because you will be converting it to a VTEC head anyways
