Touge Whore is an unknown quantity at this point
As far as reliability goes, you are going to have people that swear by either one of the engines. Both engines are strong and both will have their set backs. I personally have the RB25 and love it. There is an inherant "oil problem" that comes with the engine, but it really only becomes a concern with hard track driving and drag. It gets too much oil into the head and can't drain back fast enough and you run into issues with high RPM's and lateral G's. You will be able to transfer over a lot of the parts from your Z chassis which will help the check book. So, to answer to your question, both are reliable engines, but you can see I'm a little biased when it comes to my choice. It's up to you as to which you will choose. Hope this helped...haha...
