Well, the only advantage that I know on d15b only if you want the most out of your fuel economy. Perhaps, you can spell that to the buyer that the engine are much newer than the previous engine. Regular maintenance are good investment to return your money back in time of sale.

The best thing you can do to get the max MPG (miles per gallon) out of your car is to keep the tires properly inflated, remove excess load in the trunk, keep your fuel system clean (change the fuel filter, and don't always run the cheapest gas you can find), and change your oil and filters every 3,000-5,000 depending on what type of driving you do. The biggest thing most people forget is to routinely check the tire pressure and to replace the air filter periodically. A 5 psi drop in tire pressure can drop your MPG by as much as 20%. I change my air filter every other oil change. This keeps a lot of dirt out of your engine, and helps the fuel mileage by allowing the proper amount of air into the engine.
Doing the required periodic maintenance on your vehicle will save you most expensive repairs down the road.

The engine may add value to your car if it runs on carb before (lxi), which I suppose should be the case why you wanted a swap.
Best of both worlds yang d15b - power and economy. Unless you go drag (where B engines are popular), you should do fine on your new engine.
