Rebuild JX head or go up to AAZ

Wow, not much traffic on this forum but worth asking...
I'm seeing a lot of oil in the intake, but no noticeable dipstick blowing, so I'm thinking the stem seals are shot, more than the rings. I need to find a new compression tester to make sure, of course.
If the bottom end is good, this should just be a valve stem seal replacment, or a head rebuild... or the chance to move up to an AAZ (please don't suggest a TDI, I'm looking for the simplest way).
