Default engine build. 12 v or 24v

ok so i was planning on building another engine over this year and i have a 12 valve on the stand. Today at work i stumbled into a deal on a 24 valve. Need some opinions here. do i p pump the 24 and build that up or sell/trade it and do the 12 ? My plans are to build a 2.6 engine hopefully before next years pull season and retire my dd into a strait puller. Appreciate any valuable input. Thanks!
