Built high compression K24 bottom end with built K20 top end, individual throttle bodies, header, standalone EMS, cams, and nitrous. Or swap in a B16A.

a k-swap? unless you have money to blow I wouldn't go near a K.

What are your power goals and budget? NA or FI?

Its hard to say, because there is no one best engine for anyone. When you say serious power, what do you mean. To some people 200hp is serious power, to others its 1000hp.
Plus how much money do you have to spend on this serious power? If you have a big budget, yes go with a k-series, there is good potential there. If your on a smaller budget, strengthen your engine, and boost it.

for sure, LS/Vtec is certainly the way to go for that budget, I'm in the process of getting a B18A1, then hooking up a B16 head, then hopefully an edlebrok turbo kit, it is a great setup and there are lots of parts out there for that exact motor built

If your doing an ls-vtec and turbo, I suggest doing it at the same time. If your already tinkering with the engine, you might as well build it up for turbo while its apart instead of stripping the engine twice. Plus you will be able to run more boost out of it.
