It depends on the quality and miles on your existing engine. If you have a great engine, that all it needs is a head gasket, then that's better than an old engine that you may have no idea about it's history and past repairs.

What is better to fix the head gasket or engine swap?
If all that is wrong is a blown head gasket and even a cracked head it is much easier and cheaper to just fix it than to replace the engine. The labor to replace the engine plus the cost of the engine would be far greater than fixing the one you now have. This is assuming the engine is not worn out already.

What are your options when your head gasket is leaking both coolant and oil on an 2000 GM alero 6-cylinder with 86000 miles?
The only real option is to have the head gasket replaced. Do not pour some kind of 'miracle' sealant into your engine, because it will seal up oil passages, and the water jacket, as well as temporarily fixing your head gasket leak. The head gasket will start to leak again after a bit, no matter what you put in the engine. Having the head gasket replaced will cost around 500 dollars, unless there are problems, like the head being warped.
