Agreed, I just switched from a SOHC to a DOHC and the SOHC is definetely stronger. Better low end torque, easier to work on, and easier to build up. I'd go all forge reinforce internals. My last SOHC was done and it screamed.
The only advantage to DOHC is better top end, and if you go turbo, the mechanical lifters hold up better than the SOHC's hydraulic lifters.
