EX-VTEC???? The EX motor IS a VTEC motor, I think you are referring to a mini me swap, which is the VTEC head on the non VTEC block. The LS/VTEC frankenstein setup will push plenty more than the mini me setup, but personally, I wouldn't do either. Both those setups will yeild about the same gains as if you just bought the whole motor and not just the head, and is less reliable unless done correctly. To tell you the truth, I wouldn't turbo that motor OR get the LS/VTEC setup, I would get a DOHC VTEC motor swap, but that's just me. It all depends on personal preference. Also, I can't give you a time he would run on these setups since I don't know how well he can drive.
