Good game plan on doing the compression test first. Then you can do it again after the new head gasket to check the difference.
I have done a lot of research on this topic because I own a 5SFE. You can get a rebuilt head from Dover http://www.doverusa.com/ probably for a not much more than having a local shop go through yours and replacing the valve guide seals. They seem to have a good reputation.
The part of the job that may be the headache is getting the intake manifold off even though it's only 6 (hard to get at) bolts and 2 nuts on the outer end.

Pull the head, have it decked and a valve job done, throw a new thermostat in it and call it good!
every time we do that where I work we lose.

I agree about maybe finding a used engine, possibly something like this straight from Japan. That way you won't have any issues, and it will likely be cheaper than rebuilding the head and re-ringing the current engine.

Stick your timing belt and accessories on it since you say they only have 1,000 miles, and be done with it.
