1jzgte vs Rb25det neo... Help!

So I'm in the process of planning a swap for a z32.
I already know all the suspension and interior bits I want but am still undecided on the engine. I'm not a fan of the vg, as its heavy, messy, and a pain to work on... to boot it makes zero power lol.

I've narrowed it down to an rb25det neo and a 1jzgte vvti. I plan on going with a moderately sized top mount turbo on both, and my power goal is 450-550 at the wheels. The car is going to be primarily a street car but will occasionally see some drift events

I've done a very, very rough estimate of 4500 for the rb and parts for the swap and the same rough estimate for a jz is about 4800. Since the price and stock hp are about the same, I am sort of torn on what to do.

from what I've read, neo rb25's are the best rb25, with the vvl, rb26 rods, and solid lifters, and jz's, well, everyone knows about jz's lol.

Has anyone had experience with both engines(or either or) and can give insight into which would be the best bet for my particular swap?

Thanks!
