No, they're both as good as each other.

Get an 8v for reliability, they're pretty indescructible and the 1.4 8v is as good as the 1.4 16v (I've had both, and a 1.6)

clutch is fairly easy if you have an F13 gearbox (my 1.4 16V SRi does), just take the cover off the bellhousing and the clutch can be changed without removing the engine or gearbox. tappets arent too bad just make sure you set yourself plenty of time aside to carry out the repairs
