ill throw my 2 cents at this...
Honda is OHC with a timing belt. Ive seen this before (dont say it doesnt/cant happen) where timing belts break. these are interference motors (valves will hit the piston if the timing belt breaks) I love my honda lawn equipment (yes, ohc) but i dont like timing belts.
the Subaru is a pushrod OHV system. MUCH more trustworthy.
I dont know about the rest of either engine (never had one) but i'll be getting the subaru...
