I love single cams. Especially the D16z6, JDM D15B, and the ZC VTEC(jdm z6 basically). They are a good solid motor that stands up to abuse. They are also very easy to work on.
What i love most about them is if the worst case sincerio happens and a rod goes through the block(wont happen unless you cant identify when your rod bearings go bad) You can get a new bottom end super cheap. Swaping the head over is also super easy, you don't even need to mess with the cam.
The amount of money spent on swaping to a B Series could be very easily spent on making your single faster, I.E. Cams, Turbo, etc.
The above stated, I am currently in the twin cam camp, My Current Daily Driver(01 Integra LS) has its stock B18b in it, My Toy Hatch has a 99spec JDM B20b w/ a B16 transmission. Its tons of fun and I love its torque. However I do miss the simplicity and cheapness of D Series.
