I'm not sure I'd choose one or the other based solely on that that one item, but it would definately be important. I'm a pretty handy DIYer. Is one engine type easier to DIY than the other?

If the M103 has the mileage you indicate, then almost certain it has had a head gasket replaced. They usually went around 50K-60K miles from new.
M103 won't give you V8 performance, but your maintenance/repair cost would be lower with the M103.
M103 a great strong engine for a DIYer !!!
