Such thing as a reliable SR20?

So right now my SR has a spun rod bearing because it ran low on oil. But I was planning a rebuild to build it to 400whp, and all my friends are talking me out of it because they keep saying Sr's are great motors, But they will blow up.
So i really don't want to drop 5k in a build just to have it blow and and have to drop another 5k.

Any insight? I'm not on a super tight budget, but i don't wanna waste money.
would it be better to do an rb/jz swap?
The reason I'm not just all for an rb/jz is:
1, the Sr is already in there
2, I really like turbo 4 cylinders
And 3, I already have the injectors, turbo, ecu, and manifolds I want on the Sr, so i won't have to buy anything other than the engine build.

I really want something reliable that i can build once, and be good for a long time.

Thanks for your time
