Cheaper route would be just rebuild the 7M head gasket changes are not hard, but they are difficult. (hope that makes sense) But then the mods you want to add will add up the costs quick. I think the engine change is due to aftermarket. Parts for the 1JZ are easier to come by and probably a bit cheaper in the long run. The 7M is just like any other engine, build it right and it will last forever. I guess it comes down to what you want out of the car. 400HP, stick the 7M. 1000HP get a 1JZ. I have a celica with a 20R in it. Common swaps are the 4AGE and 4AGTE. Both engines are a bit better due to the fact that speed parts for the 20R are almost non-existant. When you do find them they are; 1. Used and therefore take a bit of work to get them up and running and 2. Even used they tend to be very costly. Swapping in a newer engine is much easier and cheaper in the long run due to support and parts. This debate goes all the way back to Flathead VS Small Block Chevy.
