They are quite reliable with stock bottom ends.. The only ****ty part of them is the r/s ratio....but.... if your not reving the snot out of the motor ALL the time you are quite fine.
ls/vtec is a great choice for you, id suggest not doing headwork to that ls head, because in realitly for the price of a b16 head vs. the price of a built ls head (the ls will flow SLIGHTLY better) its definantly not worth it.

How would turbo be safer than vtec?
Vtec is WAY more reliable than a turbo setup, and if you think you can build a "safe" turbo kit for the same price it would be to do a vtec conversion you should get you head checked. Dont speak unless you have built both, i have built both and i know the ups and downs of both. I reved my old ls/vtec setup to 8200 multiple times a day, and when i switched to my new setup, the old motor was in immaculate condition.
Turbo= higher cyilnder pressure, more heat
ls/vtec= better flowing head, vtec, around 150-160 whp resulting in a peppy car.
