Default Will stock LS1 heads be an improvement?

I have an 01' 6.0L LQ4 in my 71' Suburban. One of the heads has a small crack in it so I'm looking to replace them. Would putting a set of LS1 or LS6 heads off an F-body be good or bad power wise? Or should I just look for another set of 6.0 heads? Thanks.

LS6 heads would add power due to increased compression. They'll cost you though. If money is an issue, just stick to 6.0 heads. LS1 heads flow less than 6.0 heads.
