well, the original post contains no information about your plans for this car, but based on the motors you listed, you have a very low budget, and no real plans to make a bunch of power. So, that in mind, I would tell you to stay d-series, b-series swaps are only worth it if you:
1) plan on using the swap to build upon (IE turbo, built N/A, etc.- high horsepower applications) a d-series can be made to do or even outdo a stock b-series motor without a whole lot of effort/money.
OR
2) the whole swap is available for dirt cheap- motor, tranny, ecu, axles, mounts, shift linkage, etc, etc. and by cheap, I mean like $1000-1500 for EVERYTHING
