GsR stronger more reliable FACTORY build
LsVtec greater potential for power (espically low end torque, the bane of hondas)

People rag on the LsVtec saying it is very expensive...but the fact of the matter is for the price of a B18C5 (i'm not recommending the type r) you could build a LsVtec with all new parts. The reason LsVtecs are so hard / expensive to do is that you can't cut corners. You need new timing belts, water pumps, pistons rings and bearings only to name a few. When its all said and done you'll have an engine with type r style output for the price of a type r, with 0 Km's. Don't forget Honda reliability.....
