I was thinking about this just the other day. I have both a 2.0 and a 2.1. I like the 2.1 engine. It seems to get a bad rep but I think it is a lot peppier than the 2.0 and my repair experience has been good (so far). Besides having greater displacement, I think the 2.1 has better breathing and a better engine management system than the 2.0.
There are problems with head gaskets and block erosion but I think these are mostly caused by a bad run of head gaskets when the cars were built. On my 2.1 I changed the head gasket soon after I got it. The block and head were OK although I did have the head milled.
If you think the head gasket has never been changed go ahead and do it to prevent problems in the future.
