Red face LS Vtec Vs. B16 Swap.

Okay so I had my mind set on doing a LS Swap for my dx, however little birdies have been dropping the B16 swap idea into my head.
What are some pros/cons of either swap? There was also talk of the Ls motor with the b16 head....


Any insight would be lovely!


Thanks
