The b20 can still handle boost. It's a common misconception that they have weak sleeves. I've seen people running 15+ PSI on stock sleeves. It's all in the tuning.

i also have the stragest idea that the better r/s ratio will allow the engine to live longer....

im not going to be building the motor or anything, i just want to have a little more get-up-and-go power and still stay reliable. this is a daily driver so im not going to be running a lot of boost on the motor (4-6 psi). so which would be the better motor for my purpose?

I'd go B20 if it was me.
