Default d16y7 or d16z6 vtec?

I have a question for anyone that can help me with a problem i'm dealing with. I'm running a d16y7 in good condition,in my 98 civic. My freind recently blow out his 95' d16z6 and Istarted to rebuild it. One pistion and rod is bad. Dont have money right now to buy newone.SoI wasthinking abouttaking out of the y7 pistions/rods out of mine, since the compresstion is more: 9.4Everything else look good on the blowin block/head.The bottom line is I want to go vtec. Since Ineed to do all that work is it better if I do a mini swap with my 7yby adding the z6 head or should I keep rebuilding the z6blowin motor with my 7y pistions/rod? What would be the better way, especially performance wise?

i'm not sure about the performance but it would be a lot less of a hassle to just do the mini-me.
