AFAIK, the heads are the same between 3.2 and late 3.0s, meaning that there are no advantages to using a different head and potential pitfalls in that they will be older, higher mileage and may not have the mountings for the DBW coil packs.

I agree. Get a known good engine or possibly a pair of good heads and refurb them.  If the latter, make sure the bottom end is OK first, as a cam belt failure can result in the edges of the pistons getting crimped, trapping the rings in their grooves.
