If you get a motor from a reputable shop with reasonable mileage then you shouldn't have to rebuild the motor. You should replace the normal exterior gaskets but I wouldn't go as far as a rebuild kit.
With that being said, as long as you or someone else is competent enough (not knocking you) to rebuild a motor then get a redtop and rebuild it. As long as you have the time/money.
The reason I say redtop is that S13 blacktop motors won't nessecarily have lower mileage nor do they have any performance gain but they are generally priced higher.
If you decide to go S14 blacktop then your chances of having a lower mileage motor are greater as long as you are buying from a reputable vendor that is telling you the actual mileage.
I have an S14 and I am going with a rebuilt S13 SR.
